About this FBR tax calculator
FBR Tax Calculator Pakistan for salary income tax and net salary
The FBR (Federal Board of Revenue) is the authority that collects income tax in Pakistan, and its salaried-individual slabs are what payroll software uses to deduct tax from your salary every month. This FBR Tax Calculator applies that exact slab structure to your monthly or annual income so you can check your payslip deduction, estimate tax before accepting a job, or plan your budget around a realistic take-home figure.

How the FBR-style salary tax is calculated here
- 1
Annualise the income
Monthly income is multiplied by 12. Pakistan income tax is computed on annual taxable income.
- 2
Add bonuses and allowances
Any annual taxable bonus or allowance you enter is added to the annual salary figure.
- 3
Find the slab and apply the formula
The calculator locates the income band and applies the fixed tax for that band plus the percentage on the excess.
- 4
Report the monthly effect
Annual tax is divided by 12 for the monthly deduction, and take-home income is shown for both annual and monthly periods.
FBR salary tax slabs for Tax Year 2026
| Annual taxable income | Rate | Formula |
|---|---|---|
| Up to PKR 600,000 | 0% | No tax |
| PKR 600,001 to 1,200,000 | 1% | 1% of amount above PKR 600,000 |
| PKR 1,200,001 to 2,200,000 | 11% | PKR 6,000 + 11% above PKR 1,200,000 |
| PKR 2,200,001 to 3,200,000 | 23% | PKR 116,000 + 23% above PKR 2,200,000 |
| PKR 3,200,001 to 4,100,000 | 30% | PKR 346,000 + 30% above PKR 3,200,000 |
| Above PKR 4,100,000 | 35% | PKR 616,000 + 35% above PKR 4,100,000 |
A 9% surcharge applies on the tax where annual taxable salary exceeds PKR 10,000,000.
Worked example: annual salary of PKR 3,500,000
Consider an annual taxable salary of PKR 3,500,000 with no bonus — a mid-level professional's income in Pakistan.
- Amount above PKR 3,200,000
- PKR 300,000
- Tax at 30% on that amount
- PKR 90,000
- Fixed tax for the slab
- PKR 346,000
- Annual income tax
- PKR 436,000
- Monthly tax deduction
- ≈ PKR 36,333
- Effective tax rate
- ≈ 12.5%
Estimated result
Estimated annual take-home ≈ PKR 3,064,000
Even though part of the income sits in the 30% band, the effective rate is only about 12.5% because the first PKR 600,000 is tax-free and the middle bands are taxed far lower.
Who searches for an FBR tax calculator — and why
- Job seekers comparing offers, since a higher gross salary does not always mean proportionally higher take-home pay.
- Employees checking whether their payslip deduction matches the official slabs.
- HR and payroll staff estimating deductions quickly when salaries are revised.
- Taxpayers preparing figures before filing on FBR IRIS or speaking with an accountant.
Limitations of this estimate
The calculator handles straightforward salary income. It does not automatically cover business income, rental income, capital gains, foreign or agricultural income, pension rules, zakat adjustment, tax credits, or advance tax. Those items can change your final position, so treat the result as a planning figure and confirm with official rules or a qualified professional.
