How the Pakistan tax calculator works
- Choose what you earn from: salary, business or self-employment, qualifying IT export proceeds, or a PTA mobile phone registration.
- Pick the tax year (1 July to 30 June) and enter your income monthly or yearly.
- The calculator applies that year's slab table from the First Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001: a fixed amount for the slab plus a percentage of the income above the slab's lower limit.
- It adds any surcharge that applies for the year and shows monthly and yearly tax, take-home income, your average rate and the highest rate applied, with the formula and its source.
Calculations run entirely in your browser. Your income is never sent to a server.
Which tax year is used
Pakistan's tax year runs from 1 July to 30 June and is named after the year in which it ends. The calculator opens on tax year 2026-27 (TY2027), set by the Finance Act, 2026. You can also choose any of these years: TY2027, TY2026, TY2025, TY2024, TY2023, TY2022.
The tax rates for a year are those in force for that year, even if you file the return later. A return for TY2026 filed in 2026 therefore uses the TY2026 rates.

IT and IT-enabled service exports (section 154A)
- 0.25% of export proceeds for software, IT and IT-enabled services exporters registered with and certified by the Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB).
- 1% of proceeds for IT and IT-enabled service exports without PSEB registration and certification.
- 1% for other services exported or rendered outside Pakistan.
The bank deducts this tax when the foreign exchange is realised. It is generally a final tax when the conditions in section 154A are met.
How taxable income is calculated
Salary
Taxable salary generally includes basic pay, most allowances and taxable benefits provided by the employer, less any amounts the Income Tax Ordinance exempts. Enter the taxable figure; the calculator applies the slabs to it. If salary is more than 75% of your taxable income, the salaried slabs apply. Otherwise the non-salaried slabs do.
Business or self-employment
Tax is charged on taxable profit, meaning revenue less expenses allowed by law, not on turnover. You can enter your profit directly, or your revenue and expenses and the calculator works out the profit.
IT export proceeds
For section 154A the tax is a percentage of the foreign proceeds realised in Pakistan, so no slab table is involved.
Important assumptions
- Individuals only. Associations of persons (AOPs) and companies are not calculated.
- Super tax under section 4C, minimum tax under section 113, deductible allowances, tax credits and credit for tax already withheld are not included. Results say so where it matters.
- IT export results assume the statutory conditions for final-tax treatment are met and use the rates for persons on the Active Taxpayers List (ATL).
- PTA mobile tax uses official FBR valuation rulings and the customs exchange rate you confirm. The amount you pay is the one on your PSID.
PTA mobile tax
The same page also estimates the duties and taxes due when you register a non-PTA phone through DIRBS with your passport or CNIC, or import phones commercially. PTA runs registration; the amounts are assessed by Pakistan Customs and the FBR. Open the PTA mobile tax calculator.
