1. FBR Salary Tax Slabs 2025-26 – Pehle Ye Yaad Karo

Finance Act 2025 ke mutabiq ye slabs 1 July 2025 se lagu hain:

Annual Taxable Income (PKR)Tax Rate
0 – 600,0000%
600,001 – 1,200,0005% of amount exceeding 600,000
1,200,001 – 2,400,00030,000 + 15% of amount exceeding 1,200,000
2,400,001 – 3,600,000210,000 + 25% of amount exceeding 2,400,000
3,600,001 – 6,000,000510,000 + 30% of amount exceeding 3,600,000
Above 6,000,0001,230,000 + 35% of amount exceeding 6,000,000

Important Note: Ye annual income ke slabs hain. Monthly salary ko 12 se multiply karke annual banao pehle.


2. Manual Calculation Ka Formula – 3 Steps

Step 1: Annual Gross Salary Nikalo

Step 2: Exemptions Minus Karo

Common Exemptions:

  • Medical Allowance: 10% of basic salary – exempt
  • Conveyance Allowance: Up to 63,000/year – exempt
  • House Rent: 45% of basic – exempt if rent diya hai

Simple Case: Agar sirf basic salary hai to exemptions zero. Taxable = Gross.

Step 3: Slab Ke Mutabiq Tax Lagao

  1. Dekho taxable income kaunse slab me aati hai
  2. Formula apply karo
  3. 12 se divide karke monthly tax nikalo

3. Example 1: 50,000 Monthly Salary

Monthly Salary: 50,000 PKR
Annual Salary: 50,000 × 12 = 600,000 PKR

Step 1: Slab check karo
600,000 falls in Slab 1: 0 – 600,000
Tax Rate: 0%

Step 2: Calculate
Tax = 0

Monthly Tax: 0 ÷ 12 = 0 PKR

Result: 50K salary pe koi tax nahi. Poora 50,000 ghar aayega.


4. Example 2: 100,000 Monthly Salary – Most Common Case

Monthly Salary: 100,000 PKR
Annual Salary: 100,000 × 12 = 1,200,000 PKR

Step 1: Slab check karo
1,200,000 falls in Slab 2: 600,001 – 1,200,000
Formula: 5% of amount exceeding 600,000

Step 2: Calculate
Excess Amount = 1,200,000 – 600,000 = 600,000 PKR
Tax = 600,000 × 5% = 30,000 PKR annually

Step 3: Monthly banao
Monthly Tax = 30,000 ÷ 12 = 2,500 PKR

Step 4: Net Salary
Net Monthly = 100,000 – 2,500 = 97,500 PKR

Verification: 2,500 × 12 = 30,000. Correct


5. Example 3: 200,000 Monthly Salary

Monthly Salary: 200,000 PKR
Annual Salary: 200,000 × 12 = 2,400,000 PKR

Step 1: Slab check karo
2,400,000 falls in Slab 3: 1,200,001 – 2,400,000
Formula: 30,000 + 15% of amount exceeding 1,200,000

Step 2: Calculate
Excess Amount = 2,400,000 – 1,200,000 = 1,200,000 PKR
Tax = 30,000 + (1,200,000 × 15%)
Tax = 30,000 + 180,000 = 210,000 PKR annually

Step 3: Monthly banao
Monthly Tax = 210,000 ÷ 12 = 17,500 PKR

Step 4: Net Salary
Net Monthly = 200,000 – 17,500 = 182,500 PKR

Effective Tax Rate: 17,500 ÷ 200,000 = 8.75%


6. Example 4: 500,000 Monthly Salary – High Earner

Monthly Salary: 500,000 PKR
Annual Salary: 500,000 × 12 = 6,000,000 PKR

Step 1: Slab check karo
6,000,000 falls in Slab 5: 3,600,001 – 6,000,000
Formula: 510,000 + 30% of amount exceeding 3,600,000

Step 2: Calculate
Excess Amount = 6,000,000 – 3,600,000 = 2,400,000 PKR
Tax = 510,000 + (2,400,000 × 30%)
Tax = 510,000 + 720,000 = 1,230,000 PKR annually

Step 3: Monthly banao
Monthly Tax = 1,230,000 ÷ 12 = 102,500 PKR

Step 4: Net Salary
Net Monthly = 500,000 – 102,500 = 397,500 PKR

Effective Tax Rate: 102,500 ÷ 500,000 = 20.5%

Note: Ye calculations zero exemptions ke saath hain. Allowances hain to tax kam hoga.


8. Allowances Ke Saath Calculation – Real Example

Scenario: Monthly salary 150,000 PKR with allowances

Breakdown:

  • Basic Salary: 100,000 PKR
  • House Rent: 45,000 PKR – 45% of basic, exempt if rent dete ho
  • Medical: 5,000 PKR – 10% of basic, exempt
  • Gross: 150,000 PKR

Step 1: Exempt allowances minus karo
Medical 5,000 exempt
House Rent 45,000 exempt – agar rent agreement hai
Taxable Basic: 100,000 PKR

Step 2: Annual taxable
100,000 × 12 = 1,200,000 PKR

Step 3: Tax calculate
Slab 2: 5% of excess over 600,000
Tax = (1,200,000 – 600,000) × 5% = 30,000 PKR

Step 4: Monthly tax
30,000 ÷ 12 = 2,500 PKR

Comparison:
Without allowances: 150K pe tax = 10,000 PKR
With allowances: 150K pe tax = 2,500 PKR
Saving: 7,500 PKR per month = 90,000 PKR per year

Lesson: HR se salary structure sahi karwao. Allowances me daalo.


9. Tax Credit Adjust Karna – Final Tax Nikalo

Manual calculation ke baad tax credits minus karo:

Formula:

Example: 200K salary wala

  • Calculated Tax: 17,500 PKR monthly
  • Mutual Fund Credit: 40,000 annual = 3,333 monthly
  • Insurance Credit: 10,000 annual = 833 monthly
  • Final Tax: 17,500 – 3,333 – 833 = 13,334 PKR

New Net Salary: 200,000 – 13,334 = 186,666 PKR

Saving: 4,166 per month = 50,000 per year sirf credits se.
