About this Islamabad token tax calculator
Islamabad token tax calculator for registration, renewal and re-registration
Islamabad's vehicle tax combines a value-based registration fee, the FBR advance tax on vehicles, and the official token tax set by the excise office. Because the token tax is set per vehicle, this calculator asks you to enter it from your official record, then adds everything up for new registration, token renewal, re-registration or temporary registration. It also handles the professional tax for commercial vehicles and prorates the token tax if you're paying for fewer than 12 months.
How the Islamabad vehicle tax calculation works
- 1
Choose the calculation mode
New registration, token renewal, re-registration, temporary registration or a custom total.
- 2
Enter value and capacity
The registration fee percentage and the advance tax are both driven by engine capacity and vehicle value.
- 3
Enter the official token tax
The token tax comes from your official excise record — the calculator adds it to the estimated components.
- 4
Review the total
Charges such as late fees, special number and number plate fees are added, with quarterly and monthly equivalents.
Worked example: new private car registration in Islamabad
A 1,000cc private car with a value of PKR 3,000,000 is registered in Islamabad by a filer. The token tax from the official record is PKR 1,500.
- Vehicle value
- PKR 3,000,000
- Registration fee (2%)
- PKR 60,000
- Advance tax — filer
- PKR 20,000
- Token tax (official)
- PKR 1,500
- Total payable
- ≈ PKR 81,500
- Monthly equivalent
- ≈ PKR 6,792
Estimated result
Estimated total ≈ PKR 81,500 for the new registration
A non-filer would pay PKR 60,000 advance tax for the same car instead of 20,000 — PKR 40,000 more on day one. The advance tax is the single biggest swing factor in Islamabad vehicle costs.
Islamabad registration and re-registration fees
| Capacity | Registration fee | Re-registration | Temporary registration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 999cc | 1% of value | PKR 20,000 | PKR 5,000 |
| 1,000–1,999cc | 2% of value | PKR 40,000 | PKR 10,000 |
| 2,000cc and above | 4% of value | PKR 50,000 | PKR 20,000 |
| Commercial | 1% (≤999cc) / 2% | — | — |
Advance tax follows the FBR schedule by capacity and filer status — from PKR 10,000 to PKR 500,000 for filers.
Common mistakes when estimating Islamabad vehicle tax
- Missing the value-based registration fee. At 4% for 2,000cc+ cars, it dominates the bill.
- Entering the wrong filer status. Advance tax triples for non-filers at every capacity.
- Assuming the token tax is fixed. In ICT it varies by vehicle — use the official record figure.
- Forgetting commercial professional tax. Commercial vehicles automatically include the PKR 200 professional tax.
