Professional Tax (PT) calculator
This calculator is a simplified, illustrative view of typical salaried Professional Tax (PT) structures for reference only. In India, PT rates and taxable-pay rules differ by state for employees and businesses. The examples use commonly cited monthly salary bands for Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Many exceptions apply · e.g. women, senior citizens, state-specific exemptions and half-yearly collection · so slabs (especially in Maharashtra) can vary by gender and age, and Tamil Nadu is often remitted half-yearly in practice. Confirm timing, mode and your actual liability with MSV or your adviser.
Illustrative calculation
State highlights
Karnataka
Fixed monthly PT structure
Common three-step monthly bands. Karnataka is often illustrated without a gender split for general salaried employees.
Maharashtra
Slabs + February variation
Monthly bands plus a February top-up on some slabs (e.g. ₹300 in February). Exemption thresholds and bands differ by gender.
Andhra Pradesh
Fixed monthly slabs
Illustrative three-step monthly withholding pattern.
Tamil Nadu
Half-year system
For example, Tamil Nadu often operates on a half-year PT cycle (e.g. Apr–Sep / Oct–Mar). The monthly figure here is a same-salary reference conversion, not your remittance schedule.
