About this tool
Income tax on salary in Pakistan is charged by slabs set in each year's Finance Act and deducted monthly by the employer under section 149 of the Income Tax Ordinance. For tax year 2027 (1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027) the first Rs 600,000 a year is tax free, then 1% up to Rs 1.2 million, 11% to Rs 2.2 million, 20% to Rs 3.2 million, 25% to Rs 4.1 million, 29% to Rs 5.6 million, 32% to Rs 7 million and 35% above that, each band adding a fixed amount for the bands below it. The 2025-26 table had 23% and 30% bands and a 9% surcharge above Rs 10 million, which is why most salaries pay a little less this year.
The calculator applies the slabs to your taxable income for the year (salary times twelve, plus any other taxable income) and divides the tax by twelve for the monthly deduction. It does not include tax credits, adjustable withholding on your phone or bank, or reliefs such as donations and investments, which you claim in your return; it is the figure to expect on the payslip. The slabs change with every June budget: the year, source and the date they were checked are shown under the inputs.

Does the calculator include the surcharge?
The 9% surcharge on income above Rs 10 million applied in 2025-26 and is applied when that year is chosen; it does not apply to salaried people in 2026-27.
Is this the exact amount on my payslip?
It is the tax under the slabs on your salary plus other taxable income. Employers may also adjust for tax already withheld elsewhere, medical allowance and other exemptions, and reliefs you have declared, so a payslip can differ a little.
