Questions people ask
How is income tax on a salary calculated in Pakistan?
Your taxable salary for the tax year, which runs from July to June, falls into one of the FBR’s slabs for salaried individuals. The tax is that slab’s fixed amount plus its rate on the part of your income above the slab’s floor; the calculator above shows both.
Your employer deducts one twelfth of the year’s tax from each month’s salary and pays it to the FBR on your behalf (section 149), so the monthly figure is the yearly one divided by twelve.
How much salary is tax-free in Pakistan?
For tax year 2026-27 the first Rs 600,000 of taxable salary a year, Rs 50,000 a month, carries no tax. The next Rs 600,000 is taxed at 1%, so a salary of Rs 100,000 a month pays Rs 6,000 for the year.
The threshold has been Rs 600,000 for several years; the rates above it change with each Finance Act.
Which tax year applies to my salary?
A tax year is named for the year it ends in: salaries paid from July 2026 to June 2027 fall in tax year 2027, under the slabs of the Finance Act 2026. Pick the year the salary belongs to, not the year you are filing in.
The calculator keeps the two years before as well, for a return you are still filing or a slip you are checking.
Good to know
- For salaried individuals, where salary is more than three quarters of taxable income. Business income, rent and capital gains have their own rates.
- Tax credits (donations, pension funds), exemptions (a medical allowance within its limit) and adjustments (tax already deducted on a phone bill or a car) are not included; the return on IRIS is where they are claimed.
- Employers deduct the tax from the salary every month at these rates (section 149); the monthly figure here is the year’s tax divided by twelve.
- The rates change with each Finance Act in June. A tax year runs from July to June and is named for the year it ends in.

- Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) Pakistan’s tax authority: the Income Tax Ordinance, each year’s Finance Act, the IRIS portal for returns, and the withholding tax rates.
