Questions, answered
How do the salary bands and high-income surcharge work?
Annual income up to PKR 600,000 is tax-free. The next bands apply 1%, 11%, 20%, 25%, 29%, 32% and 35%, with the 35% band starting above PKR 7 million. Each rate applies only within its band. FBR Circular 02/2026–27 confirms that the previous 9% salary surcharge above PKR 10 million was withdrawn. This estimate stops at PKR 100 million, below the cited super-tax thresholds.
Is this my exact payroll deduction or final tax liability?
No. This is a salary-only estimate before credits, reliefs and payroll deductions. The salary schedule requires salary to be more than 75% of taxable income, so business or other income can change the applicable schedule. Use annual mode for part-year work. Monthly results divide the annual estimate by 12 and include the annual bonus as an average; actual withholding timing can differ. Amount after tax means taxable pay minus this income-tax estimate, not a complete payslip.
Why is the amount after income tax different from my take-home pay?
The result subtracts only this estimated income tax from taxable pay. Pension contributions, loans, benefits, withholding adjustments and other deductions can make the actual payment different.
Worked example: PKR 200,000 per month
Twelve equal taxable salary payments give annual income of PKR 2,400,000. The first PKR 600,000 contributes no tax; the next PKR 600,000 at 1% contributes PKR 6,000; the next PKR 1,000,000 at 11% contributes PKR 110,000; the remaining PKR 200,000 at 20% contributes PKR 40,000. Total estimated tax is PKR 156,000, or PKR 13,000 per month on average. The 20% marginal rate is not applied to the whole salary.
Use annual mode for an uneven working year
If you worked for only part of the tax year, add the actual taxable salary payments for that year and choose annual mode. Add a taxable bonus separately only when it is not already included. Compare the estimate with your employer’s taxable-pay figure and withholding record. The displayed monthly amount is an annual average, not a prediction of a particular payslip.
What to confirm before relying on an estimate
Use the tax year shown above, check exemptions and credits independently, and review the linked FBR sources. Other income can change your classification. The estimate excludes other payroll deductions and does not file a tax return. Tax law and your circumstances take precedence over this calculator.
