Crypto Tax Estimator (Pakistan)
Estimate what tax you might pay on cryptocurrency trading profits in Pakistan. Enter your annual crypto profit, choose your holding period, and adjust the editable tax assumptions to model different scenarios.

Frequently asked questions
Pakistan does not have a formal crypto tax regime yet. Crypto gains may still fall under general income tax provisions, which is why this estimator shows scenarios like capital gain and other income at editable rates. A tax professional can advise on the current position.
Scenario A models the profit being taxed as a capital gain at a lower assumed rate, while Scenario B models it being taxed as ordinary other income at a higher slab-like rate. Both rates are editable so you can match your own assumption.
In many tax systems, assets held for longer qualify for lower rates. This estimator applies your editable long term rates when you select a holding period of 1 year or more.
No. This is an estimate under assumptions you can edit — it is not tax advice and not an official FBR calculation. Consult a qualified tax professional before declaring crypto income in your tax return.
