- FY 2026-27 Slab (PKR 600,001 to 1,200,000): 1% of amount exceeding PKR 600,000 (Max annual tax = PKR 6,000 / PKR 500/month).
- FY 2024-25 / 2025-26 Slab (PKR 600,001 to 1,200,000): 5% of amount exceeding PKR 600,000 (Max annual tax = PKR 30,000 / PKR 2,500/month).

- Up to PKR 600,000: 0% Nil tax rate.
- PKR 600,001 to PKR 1,200,000: 15% of the amount exceeding PKR 600,000.

3. 10% High-Income Surcharge (> PKR 10 Million)
Under the Finance Act, a super-tax/surcharge is levied on high-net-worth individuals to enhance tax equity:
- Applicability Threshold: Applies to individuals and AOPs earning total taxable income exceeding PKR 10,000,000 (Rs 1 Crore) per annum.
- Calculation Method: A flat 10% surcharge is calculated on the computed base income tax (not on the gross income itself).
- Automatic Integration: Try & Tool automatically factors this surcharge into your total tax calculation whenever income crosses the 10M mark.
4. Monthly Tax Withholding Under Section 149
Under Section 149 of the Income Tax Ordinance, employers in Pakistan must withhold income tax on each payroll cycle:
- Annualized Estimation: The employer projects annual compensation, computes the annual tax under current FBR slabs, and deducts 1/12th monthly.
- Bonus & Increment Adjustments: When mid-year bonuses or annual increments are paid, the employer recalculates annual liability and distributes remaining tax evenly across subsequent months.
- Salary Certificate (CPR): At the end of the tax year (June 30), employers issue annual withholding tax certificates to facilitate filing your annual income tax return on the FBR IRIS portal.
