An estimate, not tax advice. It applies the salaried-individual table, which is for people whose salary is at least 75% of taxable income, and it leaves out other income, tax credits, rebates and other taxes. Source for 2026-27: FBR Circular No. 02 of 2026-27, 8 September 2026.

For the 2026-27 tax year (July 2026 to June 2027), a salaried person in Pakistan pays no income tax on the first Rs 600,000 of taxable income, and the top rate of 35% starts above Rs 7,000,000. The calculator above applies the Federal Board of Revenue's slabs for four tax years, so you can see what a salary costs now and what it cost in earlier years.

Tax on a monthly salary, year by year

A taxable salary is the pay that counts for tax after exempt allowances. The table applies each year's slabs to four monthly salaries. Each figure is one-twelfth of the annual tax, and any surcharge is included.

Monthly taxable salary Tax per month, 2026-27 Tax per month, 2025-26 Tax per month, 2024-25 Tax per month, 2023-24
Rs 100,000 Rs 500 Rs 500 Rs 2,500 Rs 1,250
Rs 150,000 Rs 6,000 Rs 6,000 Rs 10,000 Rs 7,500
Rs 300,000 Rs 34,667 Rs 38,833 Rs 45,833 Rs 36,250
Rs 500,000 Rs 92,000 Rs 106,750 Rs 113,750 Rs 91,250

On a taxable salary of Rs 300,000 a month, the 2026-27 slabs give Rs 416,000 a year, or Rs 34,667 a month, an average rate of 11.56%. The same salary paid Rs 38,833 a month under the 2025-26 slabs.

Tax year 2027: slabs for July 2026 to June 2027

The Finance Act 2026 restructured the salaried slabs, added intermediate slabs and raised the point where the 35% rate starts from Rs 4,100,000 to Rs 7,000,000. The Federal Board of Revenue set out the table in its Circular No. 02 of 2026-27, dated 8 September 2026.

Taxable income Tax
Up to Rs 600,000 No tax
Rs 600,001 to Rs 1,200,000 1% of the amount above Rs 600,000
Rs 1,200,001 to Rs 2,200,000 Rs 6,000 plus 11% of the amount above Rs 1,200,000
Rs 2,200,001 to Rs 3,200,000 Rs 116,000 plus 20% of the amount above Rs 2,200,000
Rs 3,200,001 to Rs 4,100,000 Rs 316,000 plus 25% of the amount above Rs 3,200,000
Rs 4,100,001 to Rs 5,600,000 Rs 541,000 plus 29% of the amount above Rs 4,100,000
Rs 5,600,001 to Rs 7,000,000 Rs 976,000 plus 32% of the amount above Rs 5,600,000
Above Rs 7,000,000 Rs 1,424,000 plus 35% of the amount above Rs 7,000,000

The same circular says the 9% surcharge on salaried individuals earning above Rs 10 million has been withdrawn. The 10% surcharge on other individuals and associations of persons continues.

Tax year 2026: slabs for July 2025 to June 2026

The Finance Act 2025 set a six-slab table, with 35% above Rs 4,100,000. The FBR's Circular No. 01 of 2025-26 lists it.

Taxable income Tax
Up to Rs 600,000 No tax
Rs 600,001 to Rs 1,200,000 1% of the amount above Rs 600,000
Rs 1,200,001 to Rs 2,200,000 Rs 6,000 plus 11% of the amount above Rs 1,200,000
Rs 2,200,001 to Rs 3,200,000 Rs 116,000 plus 23% of the amount above Rs 2,200,000
Rs 3,200,001 to Rs 4,100,000 Rs 346,000 plus 30% of the amount above Rs 3,200,000
Above Rs 4,100,000 Rs 616,000 plus 35% of the amount above Rs 4,100,000

Under this year's rules, salaried individuals with taxable income above Rs 10 million paid a 9% surcharge on the income tax, according to the 2026 circular above. The calculator adds it for that year.

Tax year 2025: slabs for July 2024 to June 2025

The Finance Act 2024 raised the rates for salaried people compared with the year before and introduced a 10% surcharge on individuals with taxable income above Rs 10 million. The table below is taken from a chartered accountancy firm's summary of the Finance Act 2024; the FBR's own text for this year was not available to check.

Taxable income Tax
Up to Rs 600,000 No tax
Rs 600,001 to Rs 1,200,000 5% of the amount above Rs 600,000
Rs 1,200,001 to Rs 2,200,000 Rs 30,000 plus 15% of the amount above Rs 1,200,000
Rs 2,200,001 to Rs 3,200,000 Rs 180,000 plus 25% of the amount above Rs 2,200,000
Rs 3,200,001 to Rs 4,100,000 Rs 430,000 plus 30% of the amount above Rs 3,200,000
Above Rs 4,100,000 Rs 700,000 plus 35% of the amount above Rs 4,100,000

Tax year 2024: slabs for July 2023 to June 2024

The slabs below were reported when the amended Finance Bill 2023 passed in June 2023, for example by Business Recorder. They have no surcharge: the surcharge rule (section 4AB) was inserted by the Finance Act 2024. The two reports differ on one fixed amount for the slab from Rs 3,600,000 to Rs 6,000,000. This page uses Rs 435,000, which is Rs 165,000 plus 22.5% of the Rs 1,200,000 width of the slab below it; the other figure, Rs 405,000, does not follow from that arithmetic.

Taxable income Tax
Up to Rs 600,000 No tax
Rs 600,001 to Rs 1,200,000 2.5% of the amount above Rs 600,000
Rs 1,200,001 to Rs 2,400,000 Rs 15,000 plus 12.5% of the amount above Rs 1,200,000
Rs 2,400,001 to Rs 3,600,000 Rs 165,000 plus 22.5% of the amount above Rs 2,400,000
Rs 3,600,001 to Rs 6,000,000 Rs 435,000 plus 27.5% of the amount above Rs 3,600,000
Above Rs 6,000,000 Rs 1,095,000 plus 35% of the amount above Rs 6,000,000

How the calculator works

  1. It takes your monthly or annual taxable salary and converts it to an annual figure (monthly pay multiplied by 12).
  2. It finds the slab the annual figure falls in, and adds the fixed amount for that slab to the slab's rate applied to the income above its lower limit.
  3. If the tax year has a surcharge and taxable income is above Rs 10 million, it adds the surcharge as a percentage of the income tax.
  4. It divides the yearly total by 12 for the monthly figure, and shows the working slab by slab.

Who these slabs apply to

The salaried-individual table applies to people whose salary is at least 75% of their taxable income. Individuals who earn most of their income from a business or other sources are taxed under a separate, higher table. This calculator covers only the salaried table.

It also leaves out things that change a real tax bill: income from other sources, tax credits and rebates, and taxes other than income tax. Treat the result as an estimate and check it against your payslip and your return.

For deadlines and filing news, see the report on the FBR tax return deadline extended to 15 October 2026 and the report on how the FBR taxes social media income. If you are paid in pounds or dirhams, the GBP to PKR and AED to PKR pages show the current exchange rates, and the overseas Pakistanis hub collects guides for Pakistanis abroad.

How much tax is deducted from a Rs 100,000 monthly salary?
