Medical Facility Calculator
Calculate the taxable value of medical facility provided by your employer, in India or outside India.
Medical facility provided by an employer in India is fully exempt from tax. Treatment outside India for prescribed diseases (Rule 3A) is also exempt when the employer bears the cost.
What is Medical Facility Calculator?
A medical facility calculator works out the taxable value of medical treatment provided by an employer to an employee. Under the Income Tax Act, medical facility provided in India is fully exempt, while facility provided outside India is generally taxable as a perquisite.
There is an important exception: if the employer bears the cost of treatment outside India for specified diseases listed in Rule 3A — such as cancer, heart surgery or kidney transplant — the value is exempt from tax.
How does the Medical Facility Calculator work?
Medical facility provided in India is exempt, so the taxable value is zero.
Facility provided outside India is added to salary as a perquisite and taxed at the employee's slab rate, unless the treatment is for a prescribed disease under Rule 3A.
