Good effort, Mr. Prasad,
I have gone through the calculator, but it has some confusing statements due to changes or amendments in laws/policies.
For example:
1. In the PF calculator, you have mentioned that 8.33% goes to the PENSION Fund and 3.67% goes to the PF Fund from the employee's contribution, which actually comes from the employer's contribution.
[Employee: 12% (P.F)
Employer: 3.67% Provident Fund (A/c 1) + 8.33% Pension (A/c 10) + 1.10% Admin Charges on PF (A/c 2) + 0.50% EDLI (A/c 21) + 0.01% Admin Charges on EDLI (A/c 22) => 13.61% on basic]
2. The Service Tax has been revised to 10% instead of 12%, while the education cess and higher secondary cess remain the same.
3. It's not clear for which state the Professional Tax (PT) is being calculated. In Madhya Pradesh (MP), there are fixed slabs for the same:
- 120,000-150,000: 1,000/year or 83/month (any difference adjusted in the last deduction)
- 150,000-180,000: 1,500/year or 125/month
- > 180,000: 2,500/year or 212/month
However, the formulae used in the calculator are different.
The rest of the calculator is okay. Yes, the checklist is really useful.
