This calculator uses the salaried-person slabs for FY 2026–27, the schedule set by the Finance Act 2026 and in force from 1 July 2026. It applies where salary makes up more than 75% of your taxable income, which covers most employees. Your employer deducts the full tax from your pay, so the figure here is what should already be coming off your salary each month.

Estimates for a single employee with standard allowances, calculated in your browser. Rates checked October 2026. Not tax advice.
There is no standard deduction in Pakistan. Instead, the first Rs 600,000 of taxable salary is taxed at 0%, then 1% up to Rs 1,200,000 and 11% up to Rs 2,200,000. The Finance Act 2026 cut the next two bands: income from Rs 2,200,000 to Rs 3,200,000 now pays 20% instead of 23%, and the band up to Rs 4,100,000 pays 25% instead of 30%. Above that, the old single 35% band has been split into three steps of 29% up to Rs 5,600,000, 32% up to Rs 7,000,000 and 35% above Rs 7,000,000. The same Act abolished the 9% surcharge that used to apply to salaried income above Rs 10 million. Plenty of payroll pages still show the older Finance Act 2025 slabs, so check the year before trusting any figure.
Unlike most countries on this site, there is no percentage deducted from a Pakistani salary for social security. EOBI and provincial social security contributions are assessed mainly on the employer and calculated on the minimum wage, not on your actual salary, so they do not appear here as an employee deduction. Your take-home pay is simply gross salary minus income tax. One boundary matters: this page covers the salaried schedule only. Non-salaried individuals and associations of persons use a different schedule with a top rate of 45% and a 10% surcharge above Rs 10 million, and none of that is modelled here.
| Taxable income band | Rate |
|---|---|
| Up to Rs600,000 | 0% |
| Rs600,000 – Rs1,200,000 | 1% |

| Rs3,200,000 – Rs4,100,000 | 25% |
| Rs4,100,000 – Rs5,600,000 | 29% |
| Rs5,600,000 – Rs7,000,000 | 32% |
| Above Rs7,000,000 | 35% |
Bands apply to taxable income — what is left after any allowance.
