Salary Tax Calculator (Pakistan)

Calculate Pakistani salary tax — the salaried slabs (budget-revised every June), your annual and monthly tax, and take-home — with the surcharge on high incomes.
Quick answer: FY2025-26 salaried slabs (verify each budget): 0% to Rs 600k; 1% of the excess to 1.2M; then banded rates rising to 35% above Rs 4.1M + the 9-10% surcharge on very high incomes. A Rs 300,000/month earner pays ~Rs 57-60k/month in tax.
The Salaried Slabs (FY2025-26 — Verify Current)
| Up to Rs 600,000/yr | 0% |
| 600,001-1,200,000 | 1% of the excess |
| 1.2M-2.2M | Rs 6,000 + 11% over 1.2M |
| 2.2M-3.2M | Rs 116,000 + 23% over 2.2M |
| 3.2M-4.1M | Rs 346,000 + 30% over 3.2M |
| Above 4.1M | Rs 616,000 + 35% over 4.1M |
High-income surcharge (~9% of tax above Rs 10M income) rides on top; budgets rewrite these slabs most Junes — the June announcement is Pakistan’s payroll event of the year.
Worked Example — Rs 300,000/month (3.6M/yr)
Tax = 346,000 + 30% × 400,000 = Rs 466,000/year ≈ 38,833/month; take-home ≈ Rs 261,000 before EOBI/PF deductions. Filer status matters enormously for OTHER withholdings (banking, property) — stay on the ATL.
Notes
Employer-deducted monthly per FBR schedules; medical allowance (10% of basic) exemption survives where structured; provident fund within limits is exempt. Non-filers face punitive rates on transactions — the Active Taxpayer List is worth more than most allowances. Pair with the gratuity and EOBI exits.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Pakistan’s salary tax slabs?
FY2025-26: 0% to Rs 600k, 1% of excess to 1.2M, then fixed-plus-rate bands rising to 35% above 4.1M (+ high-income surcharge) — rewritten most budgets; verify current.
How much tax on Rs 300,000 per month?
About Rs 38,800/month (Rs 466k/year) under the FY2025-26 slabs — before any exempt allowances or fund deductions.

Up to Rs 600,000/year (Rs 50,000/month) — the zero slab for salaried individuals.
