How salary tax is calculated in Pakistan (2026-27)
Pakistan taxes salaried income progressively. The first Rs 600,000 a year is tax-free; above that, each slab of income is taxed at its own rate, from 1% up to 35%. Your total tax is the sum of the tax on each slab — so a higher salary only pushes the portion above each threshold into a higher rate, never your whole income.
- 1Work out your annual gross salary (monthly salary × 12).
- 2The first Rs 600,000 a year is tax-free.
- 3Apply each slab's rate only to the portion of income that falls within that slab (1% rising to 35%).
- 4Add the slab amounts together for your annual tax, then divide by 12 for the monthly figure.
