Calculate your monthly and annual income tax in seconds using the latest FBR salary tax slabs. Enter your salary, add any exemptions or allowances, and see your estimated tax and take home pay instantly, without opening a spreadsheet or working through the slab formula by hand.
Whether you are negotiating a new job offer, comparing a raise against your current take home pay, or simply want to understand what your employer is deducting every month, this calculator gives you a quick, reliable estimate based on the tax year 2027 slabs published for salaried individuals.
The calculator is built for anyone, whether you are salaried for the first time or have been filing returns for years. Three simple steps give you an estimate of your salary tax for the current tax year.
Type in your monthly or annual gross salary. Gross salary means the total amount your employer pays you before any tax, provident fund contribution or other deduction is subtracted. If your salary changes during the year because of an increment or bonus, you can re run the calculator with the new figure to see the updated tax.
Include any allowances that apply to you, such as house rent, medical or conveyance allowance, along with your provident fund contribution or any other deduction that reduces your taxable income. Not every allowance is fully exempt, so the calculator applies the treatment that generally applies to salaried employees under the applicable rules.
Click the calculate button. You will see your estimated annual tax, your monthly tax deduction and your net take home salary side by side, so you can immediately see the impact of any change you make to the inputs.
These slabs apply to salaried individuals for the tax year 2027, effective from 1 July 2026. Tax in Pakistan is progressive, which means each rate in the table below applies only to the portion of your income that falls inside that specific slab, not to your entire income.
| Annual Taxable Income (PKR) | Tax Rate |
|---|---|
| Up to 600,000 | 0% |
| 600,001 to 1,200,000 | 1% of the amount exceeding 600,000 |
| 1,200,001 to 2,200,000 | 6,000 + 11% of the amount exceeding 1,200,000 |
| 2,200,001 to 3,200,000 | 116,000 + 20% of the amount exceeding 2,200,000 |
| 3,200,001 to 4,100,000 | 316,000 + 25% of the amount exceeding 3,200,000 |
| 4,100,001 to 5,600,000 | 541,000 + 29% of the amount exceeding 4,100,000 |
| 5,600,001 to 7,000,000 | 976,000 + 32% of the amount exceeding 5,600,000 |
| Above 7,000,000 | 1,424,000 + 35% of the amount exceeding 7,000,000 |

Progressive taxation confuses a lot of people because it looks like one flat rate is applied to the whole salary. In reality, your income is split across the slabs above, and each slice is taxed at its own rate. For example, someone with an annual taxable income of Rs. 2,000,000 does not pay 11% on the full amount. The first Rs. 600,000 is tax free, the next slice up to Rs. 1,200,000 is taxed at 1%, and only the remaining amount between Rs. 1,200,000 and Rs. 2,000,000 is taxed at 11%. This is exactly what the calculator does automatically in the background, so you never have to work through the slab by slab math yourself.
| Monthly Salary | Annual Salary | Annual Tax | Monthly Tax |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rs. 50,000 | Rs. 600,000 | Rs. 0 | Rs. 0 |
| Rs. 100,000 | Rs. 1,200,000 | Rs. 6,000 | Rs. 500 |
| Rs. 150,000 | Rs. 1,800,000 | Rs. 72,000 | Rs. 6,000 |
| Rs. 200,000 | Rs. 2,400,000 | Rs. 156,000 | Rs. 13,000 |
| Rs. 300,000 | Rs. 3,600,000 | Rs. 416,000 | Rs. 34,667 |
| Rs. 500,000 | Rs. 6,000,000 | Rs. 1,104,000 | Rs. 92,000 |
Salary income tax is the amount deducted from your salary by your employer and paid to the Federal Board of Revenue on your behalf. It is based on your total annual taxable salary and the slab rate that applies to that income. Your employer acts as a withholding agent under the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, which means the legal responsibility to deduct and deposit the correct amount sits with the employer, not with you directly, although the tax itself is your liability.
Your employer calculates the tax on your estimated annual income, divides it across the remaining months of the tax year and deducts it from your pay every month. That is why the amount on your payslip can change when your salary, bonus, arrears or allowances change partway through the year, even if your monthly basic salary stays the same.
Under the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, you are generally treated as a salaried individual if more than 75% of your taxable income for the year comes from salary. If most of your income instead comes from business, freelancing or professional services, a different slab table and set of rules apply to you, since business income is taxed differently from employment income.
Several common items can lower the taxable salary that your tax is actually calculated on. Understanding these can help you interpret your payslip and this calculator more accurately.
While salary tax itself is deducted at the same slab rates for everyone, your filer or non filer status affects the withholding tax you pay on other transactions, such as property purchases, vehicle registration and certain banking transactions. If you want to see exactly how much more a non filer pays compared to a filer, use our filer vs non filer tax calculator on a separate page of this site.
Salary tax is deducted at source, so you do not have to pay it yourself in a lump sum. You still need to file your annual return to stay on the Active Taxpayer List and remain eligible for lower withholding rates elsewhere.
For 2027, annual salary up to Rs. 600,000, roughly Rs. 50,000 per month, is taxed at 0%. Anything above that threshold is taxed progressively according to the slabs shown above.
Annual salary works out to Rs. 1,200,000. Tax is charged at 1% on the portion above Rs. 600,000, which comes to Rs. 6,000 per year, or Rs. 500 per month on average.
No. This is an independent tool that applies FBR published slab rates to give you an estimate. Your actual deduction may differ slightly based on your employer's payroll practices and your personal exemptions.
Yes. You can enter either figure, and the result is shown for both periods so you can see the monthly deduction and the annual liability together.
Yes. Any bonus, arrears or overtime is added to your annual taxable income for the year it is received, which can push part of your income into a higher slab and increase your average tax rate for that year.
Differences usually come from allowances, provident fund treatment, arrears or bonuses that are spread differently across the year by your employer's payroll system compared to a simple annual estimate.
Yes. Filing an annual return is a separate requirement from having tax deducted at source, and it is what keeps your name on the Active Taxpayer List.
