1. What is the Pakistan Tax Calculation?

The Pakistan tax system uses a slab-based calculation where taxes are computed as (Taxable Income × Rate) - Fixed Amount based on income brackets. This progressive tax system ensures higher earners pay proportionally more.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Pakistan tax formula:

Where:

• \( Taxable\ Income \) — Annual income in PKR
• \( Rate \) — Tax rate percentage (e.g., 35% on excess over PKR 5,000,000)
• \( Fixed\ Amount \) — Deduction amount based on tax slab

Explanation: The formula accounts for progressive taxation where different income slabs have different rates and fixed deductions.

3. Importance of Tax Calculation

Details: Accurate tax calculation is crucial for financial planning, compliance with FBR regulations, and avoiding penalties for underpayment.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your annual taxable income in PKR, the applicable tax rate percentage, and the fixed amount for your tax slab. All values must be positive numbers.
