The 2026-27 salary tax slabs
Salaried individuals in Pakistan are taxed on annual taxable salary under the slabs of the First Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance 2001. For tax year 2027 (July 2026 – June 2027) the Finance Act 2026 sets: up to Rs 600,000 nil; Rs 600,001–1,200,000: 1% of the amount over 600,000; 1,200,001–2,200,000: Rs 6,000 + 11%; 2,200,001–3,200,000: Rs 116,000 + 20%; 3,200,001–4,100,000: Rs 316,000 + 25%; 4,100,001–5,600,000: Rs 541,000 + 29%; 5,600,001–7,000,000: Rs 976,000 + 32%; above Rs 7,000,000: Rs 1,424,000 + 35%.
Compared with 2025-26, the rates for incomes above Rs 2.2 million were cut (23% → 20%, 30% → 25%, 35% → 29% and 32%) and the 9% surcharge on salaried people earning more than Rs 10 million a year was withdrawn. The lower slabs are unchanged. Choose tax year 2026 to see the old rates, including the surcharge.
You count as salaried if salary is more than 75% of your taxable income; otherwise the higher rates for non-salaried individuals apply. Your employer deducts tax monthly (withholding); the yearly return reconciles it with other income, tax credits (for example for donations or pension contributions) and deductions. The rates are hard-coded from the Finance Act, checked against two independent summaries of the gazetted text; confirm on the FBR website for official use.
Example
Rs 200,000 a month = Rs 2,400,000 a year. Tax = 116,000 + 20% × (2,400,000 − 2,200,000) = Rs 156,000 a year, Rs 13,000 a month, an effective rate of 6.5%. Under the 2025-26 slabs it was Rs 162,000 (Rs 13,500 a month).
Frequently asked questions
How much tax will I pay on a Rs 100,000 monthly salary in 2026-27?
Rs 1,200,000 a year falls at the top of the 1% slab: 1% × (1,200,000 − 600,000) = Rs 6,000 a year, Rs 500 a month.
What are the new tax slabs for 2026-27?
Nil up to Rs 600,000; then 1%, 11%, 20%, 25%, 29%, 32% and 35% across the slabs listed above, with the surcharge for salaried individuals removed (Finance Act 2026).
Is there still a surcharge on high salaries?
Not for salaried individuals from tax year 2027. Under 2025-26 rules a 9% surcharge applied to the tax of salaried people earning over Rs 10 million.
What is taxable salary?
Your total salary including allowances, minus any allowances that the Second Schedule of the Income Tax Ordinance exempts. Your payslip or HR department can confirm the figure.
