Pakistan Salaried Income Tax (Tax Years 2023–2027)

Sources and methodology for the salaried income tax slabs used by the income tax calculator, including previous years and the proposed Budget 2026-27 (TY2027).

Updated 14 Jun 2026

What this calculator uses

The income tax calculator applies the salaried-individual slabs for the tax year you select. A Pakistan tax year runs 1 July – 30 June and is named after the year it ends (Tax Year 2026 = income earned 1 July 2025 – 30 June 2026). The “salaried” slabs apply where salary is at least 75% of taxable income. Pick an earlier year to check an old salary or payslip against the slabs in force then.

Tax Year 2027 — Budget 2026-27 (⚠️ PROPOSED, not yet law)

Presented on 12 June 2026, the 2026-27 federal budget proposes lower rates for four salaried slabs and abolishes the surcharge. These figures are from the Finance Bill and are not yet enacted — confirm against the final Finance Act before relying on them. This is why TY2027 is not the calculator’s default.

How the figure is calculated

The slabs apply to annual taxable income. A monthly salary is multiplied by 12 first, the yearly tax is computed from the slabs, then divided back by 12 for the monthly figure. Each slab charges a fixed amount plus a marginal rate on the portion of income above that slab’s starting point — the same method FBR and tools such as munshi.io use.

Assumptions & limitations

  • Figures are for salaried individuals only; business/AOP slabs differ.
  • The calculator does not apply tax credits, allowances, or deductions.
  • It is an estimate for planning, not tax advice or an official assessment.

Verify before you rely on it

Pakistan’s federal budget is presented every June. Around budget season the latest year’s slabs may be newly announced or pending. Always confirm the current slabs against the FBR Finance Act before relying on a figure.
