How the tax is worked out
Pakistan taxes salary in slabs. You pay the fixed amount for the slabs below yours, plus your slab's percentage on the part of your income inside it.
Example: an annual salary of Rs 2,400,000 falls in the Rs 2,200,001 – 3,200,000 slab. Tax = Rs 116,000 + 20% of Rs 200,000 = Rs 156,000 a year, or Rs 13,000 a month.
What changed in 2026-27
The Finance Act 2026 lowered the rates above Rs 2.2 million (23% to 20%, and 30% to 25%) and added 29% and 32% slabs, so the 35% rate now starts above Rs 7 million instead of Rs 4.1 million.
It also withdrew the 9% surcharge that salaried people paid when their taxable income was above Rs 10 million.
Before you rely on the number
This calculator uses the rates for salaried individuals, which apply when salary is more than 75% of your taxable income.
It does not include tax credits (for example for Zakat, donations or pension fund contributions), tax-exempt allowances or other income. If your salary changes during the year, your employer's monthly deduction can differ from this figure.
