How the Tool Works
This Income Tax Calculator Pakistan applies the progressive tax slab rates issued by the Federal Board of Revenue for the relevant tax year, using the marginal tax rate system where different portions of income are taxed at different rates.
Tax Slabs for FY 2025-2026 (Current):
Both Salaried and Business taxpayers follow the same slab structure with an additional top bracket for incomes above Rs 6,000,000 introduced in this fiscal year:
Tax Slabs for FY 2024-2025 (Previous):
Tax is calculated by identifying which slab the income falls into and applying the corresponding formula. The tax amount is rounded to the nearest rupee.
Derived Calculations:
Monthly Tax = Total Tax ÷ 12, rounded
Net Annual Income = Annual Income – Total Tax
Net Monthly Income = Net Annual Income ÷ 12, rounded
Effective Tax Rate = (Total Tax ÷ Annual Income) × 100, displayed to one decimal place
If annual income is zero or negative, tax is zero. The slab information message displays the specific bracket applied, the taxpayer type, and the fiscal year.
Worked Example
Consider a salaried individual earning Rs 2,400,000 annually in FY 2025-2026:
Income falls in the slab Rs 2,200,001 – 3,200,000.
Tax formula: Rs 180,000 + 25% of (2,400,000 – 2,200,000).
Calculation: 180,000 + (0.25 × 200,000) = 180,000 + 50,000 = Rs 230,000.
Monthly tax: 230,000 ÷ 12 ≈ Rs 19,167.
Net annual income: 2,400,000 – 230,000 = Rs 2,170,000.
Net monthly income: 2,170,000 ÷ 12 ≈ Rs 180,833.
Effective tax rate: (230,000 ÷ 2,400,000) × 100 ≈ 9.6%.
Slab info: “Rs 2,200,001-3,200,000: 25% | Taxpayer: Salaried | FY 2025-2026”
If the same individual earned Rs 5,000,000, the tax would be calculated as Rs 700,000 + 35% of (5,000,000 – 4,100,000) = 700,000 + 315,000 = Rs 1,015,000, with an effective rate of 20.3%. This demonstrates the progressive nature of the tax system, where higher earners pay a higher percentage of their income in tax.
