🔍 New Tax Slabs (FY 2025-26) for Salaried Individuals



Annual Taxable Income (PKR) Tax Payable / Rate
Up to 600,000 0% 
600,001 – 1,200,000 1% of the amount exceeding 600,000 
1,200,001 – 2,200,000 6,000 + 11% of the amount exceeding 1,200,000 
2,200,001 – 3,200,000 116,000 + 23% of the amount exceeding 2,200,000
3,200,001 – 4,100,000 346,000 + 30% of the amount exceeding 3,200,000 
Over 4,100,000 616,000 + 35% of the amount exceeding 4,100,000 

Also a surcharge of 9% applies for salaried persons whose taxable income exceeds PKR 10,000,000


⚙️ Example Calculation

Let’s say someone has a salary-income (taxable) of PKR 3,500,000 for the year 2025-26. What’s the tax?

  1. Identify applicable slab: PKR 3,500,000 falls in the 3,200,001 – 4,100,000 slab.

  2. According to that slab:

    Base tax=346,000  +  30%×(amount3,200,000)\text{Base tax} = 346,000 \;+\; 30\% \times (\text{amount} - 3,200,000)
  3. Excess over 3,200,000 = 3,500,000 − 3,200,000 = 300,000.

  4. 30% of 300,000 = 90,000.

  5. Total tax = 346,000 + 90,000 = PKR 436,000.

If his income exceeded PKR 10,000,000, then after calculating the tax above, also add 9% surcharge on that tax amount.
