About this Punjab token tax calculator
Punjab token tax calculator for cars, motorcycles and the full renewal bill
In Punjab, renewing a vehicle's token means paying the provincial token tax and, for cars, the FBR advance income tax collected at the same counter. The amount is driven by engine capacity, and for some capacity bands by the car's invoice value. This calculator applies the Punjab schedule, adds the income tax for your filer status, includes the PKR 200 professional tax, and lets you add arrears and penalties for late renewals.
How the Punjab token tax calculation works
- 1
Choose the vehicle type
Car, motorcycle or custom. Motorcycles have a flat PKR 1,500 token tax.
- 2
Enter capacity and invoice value
Engine capacity (cc) selects the fixed tax band, while some bands apply a percentage to the invoice value.
- 3
Set filer status
The FBR income tax component is looked up for filers or non-filers — the difference is roughly three times.
- 4
Add arrears and charges
Arrears, penalties and other charges are added to reach the total, split into quarterly and monthly equivalents.
Worked example: 1,000cc car in Punjab (filer)
A 1,000cc car is renewed in Punjab by a filer owner. Here is how the total builds up.
- Token tax
- PKR 20,000
- FBR income tax — filer
- PKR 10,000
- Professional tax
- PKR 200
- Total payable
- PKR 30,200
- Quarterly equivalent
- ≈ PKR 7,550
Estimated result
Estimated total ≈ PKR 30,200 for the year
A non-filer for the same car pays PKR 30,000 income tax instead of 10,000 — so the renewal costs nearly PKR 50,200. Staying on the Active Taxpayer List halves the real cost of car ownership.

Schedules are revised by the provincial government and FBR — confirm the current year's figures before paying.
Common mistakes when estimating Punjab vehicle tax
- Forgetting the FBR income tax component collected with the token tax in Punjab.
- Using the wrong engine band. A 1,300cc and 1,500cc car land in different bands with very different fixed taxes.
- Entering the wrong filer status. The income tax component triples for non-filers.
- Ignoring invoice-value bands. Cars in the 1,001–1,199cc and 2,001–2,500cc bands are taxed on the invoice value, not a flat amount.
