FBR salary tax slabs 2026-27
Your slab lights up in the table as soon as you type a figure. The tax is layered: only the part of your income that sits inside a slab is charged at that slab’s rate. Private and government employees are on the same FBR income tax rates for salaried persons, so there is one table for everybody.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Up to 600,000 | 0% | — |

A worked example, start to finish
Say your payslip shows a taxable salary of Rs 250,000 a month. Working it through by hand goes like this.
- Annualise it. Rs 250,000 × 12 = Rs 3,000,000 a year.
- Find the slab. Rs 3,000,000 lands in slab 4, the one that runs from Rs 2,200,000 to Rs 3,200,000.
- Add the fixed amount. Slab 4 starts at Rs 116,000.
- Tax the excess. Rs 3,000,000 − Rs 2,200,000 = Rs 800,000, and 20% of that is Rs 160,000.
- Add it up. Rs 116,000 + Rs 160,000 = Rs 276,000 a year, which is Rs 23,000 a month. Take-home is Rs 227,000.

Pakistan salary tax calculator 2026-27: from gross to net salary
Use the three buttons at the top of the calculator to match the figure you have. Pick Monthly and the page acts as a monthly salary tax calculator; pick Annual and you get the tax, your effective rate and the take-home amount. Pick the third button and the page runs backwards: type the take-home you want and it finds the gross salary you would need to ask an employer for. That makes it a gross salary to net salary calculator as well as a forward one.
People look for this under different names. A net salary calculator Pakistan employees search for, a take-home salary calculator Pakistan job-seekers use before an offer, a salary after tax calculator, a taxable income calculator Pakistan accountants keep open: the arithmetic behind all of them is the same. A Pakistan salary tax calculator with take-home pay simply does the slab sum and then subtracts the answer.
It is meant as an income tax calculator for salaried persons Pakistan-wide, and as a Pakistan tax calculator for salaried employees at any pay level, from a first job to a director’s package. The slabs do not care about your job title, so anyone who needs to calculate income tax on salary Pakistan-wide can rely on the same table.
Two cautions. First, income tax is not the only thing that leaves a payslip. EOBI, provident fund, loan instalments and medical deductions are not in these numbers. Second, the result is only as good as the figure you enter, so use taxable salary rather than headline pay.
Yearly view
Prefer annual numbers? Switch to Annual and the same page works as an annual salary tax calculator Pakistan accountants and HR teams can use for budgeting. Divide the yearly tax by 12 to see what payroll should take each month.
Reading your own payslip
These questions usually come up when the number on a payslip is not the one someone expected.
How to calculate salary tax in Pakistan?
Turn your monthly taxable salary into a yearly figure, find the slab it lands in, add that slab’s fixed amount and charge the slab rate on the excess. This is the method payroll uses to calculate income tax on salary in Pakistan, and the worked example above shows every step with real numbers.
How do I calculate annual income tax from monthly salary?
Multiply the monthly taxable salary by 12, run that yearly total through the slabs and you have the annual tax. If your pay changed part-way through the year, add up what you actually earned in each period instead of multiplying one month by 12.
I earn Rs 50,000 a month. Will any tax be cut?
No. Rs 50,000 a month is exactly Rs 600,000 a year, and income up to that line is tax-free. Your employer starts deducting only once your annual taxable salary goes above it.
Is the tax on Rs 100,000 a month really that low?
It is. Only the Rs 600,000 above the exemption line is taxed, at 1%, which gives Rs 6,000 for the year or Rs 500 a month. Because the slabs are layered, going one rupee over a threshold never pulls all your earlier income into the higher rate.
How is a bonus taxed?
A bonus is added to your taxable income for the year. Payroll usually spreads the extra tax over the months that remain, which can make one payslip look heavier than the rest. Across the full year the total is the same.
Should I enter my gross pay or my taxable pay?
Taxable pay. Start from gross salary and take out anything your payslip lists as exempt, such as certain allowances or an approved provident fund contribution. If your payslip has a taxable salary line, type that number in.
What is the difference between gross salary and net salary?
Gross salary is what your contract promises before anything is taken out. Net salary, or take-home pay, is what reaches your bank after income tax and other deductions. The calculator subtracts only income tax, so treat its net figure as a close upper limit.
Is this the FBR salary tax calculator?
No, it is an independent tool and FBR has no role in it. It uses the slabs FBR publishes, which is why the numbers should agree with your payslip. If they don’t, ask your payroll team which figure they treated as taxable.
Does the government employee slab differ from the private sector?
No. The same FBR slabs apply to both. What differs is how allowances are treated, and that depends on your pay scale and department.
Meri salary 50 hazar hai, kya tax katega?
Nahi. Rs 600,000 saalana, yaani Rs 50,000 mahana tak koi income tax nahi hota. Is se upar jaate hi 1% wala slab shuru ho jata hai.
Provident fund ya gratuity par bhi tax lagta hai?
Employer ka provident fund aksar ek had tak exempt hota hai aur gratuity ke apne rules hain. Yeh calculator sirf taxable salary par chalta hai, is liye payslip ka taxable figure hi enter karein.
