How the tax is worked out
Your monthly salary is multiplied by 12 to get annual income. The income is then split into bands, and each band is taxed at its own marginal rate. The tax from every band is added up to give the annual tax. Monthly tax is annual tax divided by 12. The effective rate is annual tax divided by annual salary, times 100.
Worked example: a monthly salary of Rs 150,000 gives Rs 1,800,000 per year. First Rs 600,000 is taxed at 0, the next Rs 600,000 at 5 percent (Rs 30,000), and the remaining Rs 600,000 at 15 percent (Rs 90,000). Annual tax = Rs 120,000. Monthly tax = Rs 10,000. Marginal rate = 15 percent. Effective rate = 6.67 percent.
Frequently asked questions
How is salary income tax calculated in Pakistan?
Salary tax is progressive. The first Rs 600,000 per year is taxed at 0 percent. Income above that falls into bands, and each band is taxed at its own marginal rate. You pay the top rate only on the part of your salary that sits in the top band.
What is a marginal tax rate?
The marginal rate is the tax rate on your last rupee of income. If your annual salary reaches the 30 percent band, only the portion of salary inside that band is taxed at 30 percent, not your whole salary.
Can I change the slab rates in this calculator?
Yes. The slab table is fully editable. The page loads with default rates, but FBR revises rates every year, so verify the current rates with FBR or a tax consultant before filing.
Does this include surcharge or employer deductions?
No. The calculator computes basic slab tax on gross monthly salary only. Surcharge, allowances, and other deductions are not included.
