Common questions
How much is income tax in Pakistan for 2026-27?
It is progressive. The first 600,000 PKR of annual income is taxed at 0%, then each band above it is taxed at its own rate, up to 35% on income above 7,000,000 PKR.
What is the tax-free income limit in Pakistan?
600,000 PKR a year for Pakistan Tax Year 2027 / FY2026-27. Income below that attracts no income tax.
If I move into a higher bracket, is my whole salary taxed at the higher rate?
No. Only the portion of income inside that band is taxed at that band's rate. Earning one unit more never reduces take-home pay.
How much tax on 1,200,000 PKR in Pakistan?
6,000 PKR a year on the brackets alone, before any deduction, rebate or surcharge this page does not model.
Where do these figures come from?
Pakistan's own published rules, cited on this page and last checked 2026-08-27. No figure here is generated by a language model — the brackets are stored data and the arithmetic is deterministic.
