About these calculators
Most people should start with the salary tax calculator. Enter your monthly pay and it shows the tax your employer should deduct and your take-home pay. To see the full rate table, open income tax slabs.
If you want to compare years, there is a page for each one: the tax calculator 2026-27 (the salary tax calculator), the tax calculator 2025-26 and the tax calculator 2024-25. These help when you are checking an old payslip or a past deduction.
Other taxes have their own tools. The PTA tax calculator works out the duty and taxes to register an imported phone on passport or CNIC, with pages for popular models such as the iPhone 17 Pro Max PTA tax, the iPhone 17 Pro PTA tax, the iPhone 15 Pro PTA tax, the iPhone 13 PTA tax and the S26 Ultra PTA tax. The withholding tax calculator covers the 2026-27 rate card, and the non-filer tax calculator shows what staying off the Active Taxpayers List costs.
Withholding taxes on everyday transactions have their own tools too: cash withdrawal tax, mobile load tax, internet bill tax and income tax on electricity bill. To claim the tax on your SIM, the jazz tax certificate page shows how to download the certificate from Jazz, Telenor, Ufone and Zong. The sales tax calculator adds or removes GST, and super tax covers high earners and companies. Business owners can use the business income tax calculator, shops that opted into the 1% turnover tax for tax year 2026 can check it under the FBR small shopkeepers tax scheme, and property owners the rental income tax calculator.
Freelancers can see what reaches their bank after platform fees and the FBR tax on IT export earnings with the freelancer tax calculator, and sellers can check profit per order with the Daraz commission calculator.
What changed for 2026-27
The 2026-27 table has eight slabs, up from six in 2025-26. The first two slabs did not change. Income up to Rs 600,000 a year is tax free, and the next Rs 600,000 is taxed at 1%.
From Rs 2,200,000 upwards the rates are lower than last year. The 9% surcharge on salaried people earning over Rs 10 million a year has also been removed.
Example: Rs 300,000 a month
A salary of Rs 300,000 a month is Rs 3,600,000 a year. That falls in the slab from Rs 3,200,001 to Rs 4,100,000.
- 2026-27: Rs 316,000 + 25% of Rs 400,000 = Rs 416,000 a year, about Rs 34,667 a month.
- 2025-26: Rs 346,000 + 30% of Rs 400,000 = Rs 466,000 a year, about Rs 38,833 a month.
So the same salary pays Rs 50,000 less tax a year in 2026-27.
Common questions
How much salary is tax free in Pakistan in 2026-27?
Salary up to Rs 600,000 a year is tax free for 2026-27. That is Rs 50,000 a month. Above that, the next Rs 600,000 is taxed at 1%, so a salary of Rs 1,200,000 a year pays Rs 6,000 in tax. The same limit applied in 2025-26 and 2024-25.
Is the tax year the same as the financial year?
Yes. Pakistan's tax year for salaried people runs from 1 July to 30 June. FBR calls the year ending 30 June 2027 "tax year 2027", and most people call it 2026-27. Our pages use the 2026-27 style because that is how payslips and budget announcements usually describe it.
Why does my payslip show a different tax figure?
Your employer may spread the yearly tax over the months left in the year, or adjust for bonuses, arrears or tax already deducted. Any exempt allowances also change the taxable figure. Our calculator uses the full slab rule on the salary you enter. Your payslip and FBR records are the final word.
Do these calculators cover business income?
No. They use the slabs for salaried individuals only. Non-salaried individuals and associations of persons have a different slab table and still pay a 10% surcharge on taxable income above Rs 10 million. If most of your income is from business or rent, please check with a tax adviser.
