Pakistan tax slabs 2023-24
The thresholds and rates applied by the Pakistan calculator for 2023-24. The top band starts at PKR 6,000,000 and is taxed at 35%.
| Taxable income | Rate |
|---|---|
| PKR 0 – PKR 600,000 | 0% |
| PKR 600,000 – PKR 1,200,000 | 3% |
| PKR 1,200,000 – PKR 2,400,000 | 13% |
| PKR 2,400,000 – PKR 3,600,000 | 23% |
| PKR 3,600,000 – PKR 6,000,000 | 28% |
| Above PKR 6,000,000 | 35% |
How these bands apply in practice
A salary of PKR 300,000 in 2023-24 is estimated to pay PKR 0 in income tax, an effective rate of 0%. Only the income inside each band is taxed at that band’s rate, so the top rate of 35% applies to the last slice, not the whole salary.
Pakistan uses 5 taxed bands for 2023-24. The first PKR 600,000 is tax-free.

Does the 2023-24 top rate apply to my whole salary?
No. Only income above PKR 6,000,000 is taxed at 35%. The rest is taxed at the lower bands, so a PKR 300,000 salary pays about PKR 0.
Which tax year should I use?
Use 2023-24 if the salary was paid in that period. The current year is 2026-27; earlier years are kept for checking old returns or comparing changes.
