What is the Pakistan Income Tax Calculator?
This tool applies to Pakistan only and uses the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) progressive slab rates for Tax Year 2024-25. It estimates the annual income tax payable by resident individuals on taxable income, for both salaried persons (where salary is more than 75% of total income) and non-salaried / business individuals. Figures are estimates for planning only and ignore rebates, surcharges and special credits.
How to use it
Choose your employment type, enter your annual taxable income in PKR, and pick whether you want the tax shown per year or per month. The calculator finds the slab your income falls into and returns the tax, net (after-tax) income, your marginal rate, and your overall effective rate.
The formula explained
Pakistan uses a marginal-slab system. For each slab a fixed amount covers all tax due up to the slab's lower limit, then a marginal rate applies only to the income above that limit:
$$\text{Tax} = F + \left(\text{Income} - L\right) \times r$$
For salaried individuals in 2024-25 the slabs are: up to 600,000 → 0%; 600,001–1,200,000 → 5%; 1,200,001–2,200,000 → 15% (+30,000); 2,200,001–3,200,000 → 25% (+180,000); 3,200,001–4,100,000 → 30% (+430,000); above 4,100,000 → 35% (+700,000).
Worked example
A salaried person earns PKR 2,500,000. This falls in the 25% slab with a lower limit of 2,200,000 and fixed amount 180,000. $$\text{Tax} = 180{,}000 + (2{,}500{,}000 - 2{,}200{,}000) \times 0.25 = 180{,}000 + 75{,}000 = \textbf{PKR } 255{,}000$$ The effective rate is \(255{,}000 / 2{,}500{,}000 = 10.2\%\).
FAQ
Salaried vs non-salaried — which applies? If salary makes up more than 75% of your total taxable income, use the salaried rates; otherwise use non-salaried/business rates.
Is this exactly what I'll pay? No. It is an estimate of normal income tax under the slab schedule and does not include tax credits, surcharges, withholding adjustments or minimum tax.
Which tax year is used? The slabs reflect FBR Tax Year 2024-25.
