Frequently asked questions
How much income tax will I pay in Pakistan as a salaried employee?
Pakistan has a progressive tax system with six income tax brackets. If you earn up to PKR 600,000 annually, you pay no income tax. Beyond that, rates range from 1% on income between PKR 600,000 and PKR 1,200,000, gradually increasing to 35% on income above PKR 4,100,000. The amount you owe depends entirely on which bracket(s) your total income falls into.
What is EOBI and do I have to pay it?
EOBI (Employees Old Age Benefit) is a mandatory social contribution for salaried employees in Pakistan, calculated at 1% of your gross income with a maximum annual contribution of PKR 3,840. This contribution is separate from income tax and is not tax-deductible, meaning you pay it from your after-tax income.
Is there a high earner surcharge in Pakistan?
Yes, if your annual income exceeds PKR 10,000,000, you'll pay an additional 9% surcharge on top of your regular income tax. This surcharge applies only to high earners and is calculated on the income tax amount itself, not your total income.
What's the difference between my gross salary and take-home pay?
Your take-home pay is your gross salary minus both income tax (based on your bracket) and the 1% EOBI contribution. For example, someone earning PKR 2,000,000 annually would pay income tax according to the progressive brackets plus PKR 20,000 in EOBI, reducing their net pay accordingly.
Do tax rates vary by region or state in Pakistan?
The income tax brackets and rates provided are federal and apply nationwide in Pakistan; there are no regional or state-level income tax variations to consider when calculating your tax liability.
