How Salary Tax Calculation Works in Pakistan (Finance Act 2026)
In Pakistan, income tax on salaried individuals is governed by the First Schedule, Part I, Division I of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, updated annually through the Federal Finance Act. For Tax Year 2027 (FY 2026-27), the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) structured progressive withholding tax slabs designed to provide relief to lower-income earners while adjusting rates across middle and executive brackets.
Worked Example: Rs. 150,000 Monthly Salary Walkthrough
Consider an employee in Pakistan earning a gross monthly salary of Rs. 150,000:
- Annual Gross Income: Rs. 150,000 × 12 = Rs. 1,800,000
- Applicable Bracket: Slab 3 (Rs. 1,200,001 to Rs. 2,200,000)
- Formula: Rs. 6,000 + 11% of the amount exceeding Rs. 1,200,000
- Taxable Excess: Rs. 1,800,000 − Rs. 1,200,000 = Rs. 600,000
- Variable Tax: 11% of Rs. 600,000 = Rs. 66,000
- Total Annual Tax: Rs. 6,000 + Rs. 66,000 = Rs. 72,000
- Monthly Tax Deduction: Rs. 72,000 ÷ 12 = Rs. 6,000/month
- Net Take-Home Pay: Rs. 150,000 − Rs. 6,000 = Rs. 144,000/month
