Salary Tax Calculator Pakistan

Salary tax in Pakistan is usually calculated on annual taxable salary. Monthly salary is multiplied by twelve, then taxable bonuses or other income may be added and eligible deductions may be subtracted. The final annual taxable income is matched with the relevant FBR salary tax slab.

Enter your gross monthly salary, add any taxable annual bonus and other taxable income, and subtract eligible deductions. The calculator applies the FBR salary slabs to your annual taxable income and shows your estimated monthly tax, annual tax, and net salary. The monthly figure is the income tax your employer would typically withhold.

On a monthly salary of Rs. 150,000 (Rs. 1,800,000 per year), estimated salary tax is Rs. 72,000 per year, or Rs. 6,000 per month. The calculation is Rs. 6,000 base tax plus 11% of the amount above Rs. 1,200,000. The Rs. 600,000 tax-free limit and the 1% and 11% bands are unchanged for FY 2026-27.

No. Annual salary income up to Rs. 600,000 (Rs. 50,000 per month) is exempt from income tax under the FBR salary slabs, so estimated tax is zero. The Rs. 600,000 threshold remains unchanged for FY 2026-27.

Gross salary is your full salary before tax, bonus, and deductions. Taxable income is the amount left after adding taxable bonuses and other taxable income and subtracting allowed deductions. The FBR salary slabs are applied to taxable income, not gross salary.

The calculator multiplies your monthly salary by 12, adds taxable bonus and other taxable income, and subtracts the annual deductions you enter. The remaining amount is your taxable annual income. Exempt allowances are not added as taxable income, while taxable allowances flow through as part of salary.

You need your monthly gross salary or payslip, your annual bonus, any other taxable income, and records of eligible deductions such as approved provident fund contributions or zakat. For final filing you also need your CNIC or NTN, FBR IRIS credentials, and your annual income statement.

TaxCalculators.tools is accurate for salaried employees because it applies the official FBR salary slabs to annual taxable income, includes bonus and deduction fields, and shows the applied slab and marginal tax rate. It uses the FY 2026-27 (Tax Year 2027) salaried slabs from the Finance Bill 2026, First Schedule. No free calculator replaces employer payroll, so confirm your final figure with your payroll team or a tax adviser.

Freelancers earning outside a fixed salary should use the Pakistan income tax calculator with the non-salary income type, because freelance and business income uses different, higher slabs than salary income. PSEB-registered IT exporters may instead qualify for a flat 0.25% tax on foreign-currency export receipts.

Employer payroll can include adjustments for allowances, exemptions, arrears, tax credits, previous deductions, provident fund, or company-specific payroll treatment. This calculator gives an estimate, not a final payroll certificate.

It can be used as a practical FBR-style salary tax estimate, but it is not an official FBR tool. For final filing and legal compliance, confirm figures with FBR or a tax professional.

No. This page focuses on salary tax. Business income tax can require different rules, expenses, and tax treatment, so it should be handled by a separate business or income tax calculator.
