Disclaimer: Understanding Projections

  • These are NOT official FBR rates. The final tax slabs, deductions, and credits will be confirmed in the Finance Act 2025 passed after the budget presentation (expected June 2025).

  • Projections are based on analysis of current rates (2023-24 & 2024-25), inflation expectations, and potential government revenue targets. They serve as a planning tool only.

  • Always consult a qualified tax advisor or refer to the official FBR website (fbr.gov.pk) after the final budget is announced for accurate calculations and filing.

Manual Calculation Steps:

  1. Determine Annual Taxable Income: (Gross Salary + Other Income) - (Exemptions + Allowances + Deductions).

  2. Apply Slabs: Use the projected slab table above.

    • Find which slab your taxable income falls into.

    • Apply the relevant tax rate only to the portion of income exceeding the lower limit of that slab.

    • Add the fixed tax amount from the lower slabs.

  3. Example: Taxable Income = PKR 1,800,000

    • First 600,000: 0% Tax = PKR 0

    • Next 600,000 (600,001 to 1,200,000): 5% = PKR 30,000

    • Remaining 600,000 (1,200,001 to 1,800,000): 15% = PKR 90,000

    • Total Estimated Tax = 0 + 30,000 + 90,000 = PKR 120,000

Key Projected Deductions & Allowances (2025-26)

(Mention common ones; actual limits may change)

  • ZTBL Loan (up to PKR 1.5M?): Interest deduction possible.

  • Investment in Shares (up to 15%?): Of taxable salary income.

  • Approved Pension Funds/Annuity Schemes (up to 10%?): Of taxable salary income.

  • Charitable Donations (up to 30%?): Of taxable income (to approved institutions).

  • Health Insurance Premium: Deduction possible.

  • Profit on Debt (up to PKR 360,000?): For specific instruments.

  • House Rent Allowance (HRA): Exempt up to 45% of basic salary (or rent paid, whichever is lower).

  • Conveyance Allowance: Often fully exempt up to a limit.

  • Self-Employed Professionals & Business Owners (Note: Business income tax calculation can be more complex)

  • Freelancers (Especially those registered with PSEB/PASHA)

  3. Minimum Tax: May not account for minimum tax regimes applicable to certain businesses.

  4. Tax Credits: Potential tax credits (e.g., for IT investments) are not included here.

 Next Steps & Important Dates (Tentative)
