What are the Pakistan income-tax slabs for salaried persons in FY 2024-25?

Under the Finance Act 2024, salaried persons pay 0% on income up to PKR 600,000, 5% on PKR 600,001–1,200,000, 15% marginal on 1,200,001–2,200,000, 25% on 2,200,001–3,200,000, 30% on 3,200,001–4,100,000, and 35% on income above PKR 4,100,000.

Do Pakistan tax slabs change every year?

Yes. Salaried-person slabs are set in the annual Finance Act and can change substantially. This calculator uses the FY 2024-25 slabs (Finance Act 2024). Always verify the current rates with the FBR website or a tax adviser before filing your tax return.

Does this calculator include EOBI or provident fund?

No. It calculates income tax only. Deductions such as EOBI (PKR 370/month employee contribution), SESSI/PESSI, and provident fund contributions vary by employer and are not included. The result is your gross salary minus income tax only.

How much tax do I pay on a PKR 150,000 monthly salary?

A monthly salary of PKR 150,000 is PKR 1,800,000 a year. That falls in the third slab: PKR 30,000 fixed plus 15% of (1,800,000 − 1,200,000) = PKR 30,000 + 90,000 = PKR 120,000 a year, or PKR 10,000 a month. Take-home is about PKR 140,000 a month, an effective rate of 6.7%.

At what salary do you start paying income tax in Pakistan?

Salaried persons pay no income tax on annual income up to PKR 600,000 (PKR 50,000 a month). Tax begins on the slice above PKR 600,000, starting at 5%.

How is the marginal slab applied?

Each slab adds a fixed base amount plus a marginal rate on the income exceeding the slab floor — not a flat rate on your whole salary. For example, in the PKR 2,200,001–3,200,000 slab you pay PKR 180,000 plus 25% on the amount above 2,200,000.

Does this work for non-salaried or business income?

No. These are the salaried-person slabs from the Finance Act 2024, First Schedule, Part I, Division I. Association of Persons and non-salaried business income use different slabs and rates.

Pakistan Salary Income Tax Calculator (FY 2024-25)

Pakistan salary income-tax calculator

Enter your gross monthly or annual salary in PKR and see your income tax and monthly take-home using the official salaried-person slabs for FY 2024-25 (1 Jul 2024 – 30 Jun 2025) from the Finance Act 2024. It is for salaried employees in Pakistan checking a payslip, comparing offers, or estimating their FBR liability before filing.

How it works

The tool converts your input to an annual figure, then finds which of the six salaried-person slabs your income lands in. Each slab carries a fixed base amount plus a marginal rate on the income above the slab floor — so only the excess over each threshold is taxed at the higher rate. Annual tax is divided by 12 for the monthly figure, subtracted from monthly pay for take-home, and the effective rate is annual tax ÷ annual income.

Example

A salary of PKR 250,000/month is PKR 3,000,000/year. That sits in the 2,200,001–3,200,000 slab: base PKR 180,000 plus 25% of (3,000,000 − 2,200,000 = 800,000) = PKR 200,000, giving PKR 380,000 annual tax, or about PKR 31,667/month. Monthly take-home is roughly PKR 218,333, an effective rate of 12.7%.

Annual income (PKR)	Tax
0 – 600,000	Nil
600,001 – 1,200,000	5% over 600,000
