1. What is the Pakistan Income Tax Calculation?

The Pakistan income tax calculation uses a slab rate system where different portions of income are taxed at different rates. This calculator helps estimate your tax liability based on your taxable income and applicable slab rate for 2025.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the income tax formula:

\[ \text{Income Tax} = (\text{Taxable Income} \times \text{Slab Rate}) + \text{Cess} \]

Where:

\( \text{Taxable Income} \) — Annual income subject to tax (PKR)
\( \text{Slab Rate} \) — Applicable tax rate for the income bracket (decimal)
\( \text{Cess} \) — Additional tax or surcharge if applicable (PKR)

Explanation: The calculation multiplies taxable income by the slab rate and adds any applicable cess to determine total tax liability.

3. Importance of Tax Calculation

Details: Accurate tax calculation is crucial for financial planning, ensuring compliance with tax laws, and avoiding underpayment penalties or overpayment.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your annual taxable income in PKR, the applicable slab rate as a decimal (e.g., 0.35 for 35%), and any cess amount if applicable. All values must be valid (income > 0, rate between 0-1).
