Tax slabs used in this calculator (salaried)

The calculator uses progressive tax slabs. That means each portion of income is taxed at the corresponding slab rate, not the entire income at one single rate.

Taxable Income (PKR) Rate / Formula
Up to 600,000 0%
600,001 to 1,200,000 5% of amount above 600,000
1,200,001 to 2,200,000 30,000 + 15% of amount above 1,200,000
2,200,001 to 3,200,000 180,000 + 25% of amount above 2,200,000
3,200,001 to 4,100,000 430,000 + 30% of amount above 3,200,000
Above 4,100,000 700,000 + 35% of amount above 4,100,000

Example calculation

Case: Monthly salary of PKR 250,000

If monthly income is PKR 250,000, annual income becomes PKR 3,000,000. With no exemptions, the tax is calculated progressively:

  • 0% on first PKR 600,000 = PKR 0
  • 5% on next PKR 600,000 = PKR 30,000
  • 15% on next PKR 1,000,000 = PKR 150,000
  • 25% on remaining PKR 800,000 = PKR 200,000

Total estimated annual tax = PKR 380,000
