How the Pakistan income tax calculator works

The FBR does not tax monthly salary as a separate monthly slab. Your employer annualises taxable salary, applies the yearly slab, then withholds tax each month under Section 149.

  1. Convert monthly salary to annual salary, then add taxable bonus.
  2. Find the matching 2026-27 slab for that annual amount.
  3. Apply the fixed tax plus the percentage on income above the slab threshold.
  4. Divide annual tax by 12 for a monthly deduction estimate.

Payroll can still differ if you had a raise mid-year, arrears, medical exemption, or tax already deducted in earlier months. Use this as a planning figure, then compare it with your salary certificate.

What changed in Finance Act 2026

Salary tax calculator FAQs

Is Rs 50,000 a month still tax-free?

Yes, if annual taxable salary stays at or below Rs 600,000 and there is no extra taxable bonus. A bonus can push you into tax even when the monthly basic looks tax-free.

Should I use 2025-26 or 2026-27 slabs?

Salary paid from 1 July 2026 is withheld under 2026-27 slabs. Use the 2025-26 calculator only for last year’s salary certificate or return checks.

Does filer vs non-filer change salary slab tax?

The salaried slab table itself is the same in this calculator. Filer status still matters for other withholding, property, vehicles, and staying on the Active Taxpayers List. See filer vs non-filer.

Why is my payslip different from this estimate?

Employers may spread remaining tax across remaining months, exempt part of medical allowance, or include allowances you did not enter here. Compare the annual figure, not one month in isolation.
