Rates updated per FBR Finance Act 2026

Are you paying too much tax because you're not a filer?

In Pakistan, "filer" simply means your name is on FBR's Active Taxpayer List (ATL) because you filed your income tax return. Non-filers are not exempt from tax — they are charged higher withholding tax on ordinary transactions: buying a car, withdrawing cash, earning bank profit. That extra money is deducted automatically, and most people never add it up. These calculators add it up for you.

Transaction taxes most salary tax calculators ignore — each one explains what the tax is, who pays it, and how much more a non-filer pays.

Do these calculators store my data?

No. Every calculation runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server, and there is no signup.

Which tax year do these rates apply to?

Rates reflect FBR's withholding tax rate card under the Finance Act 2025, updated with the Finance Act 2026 amendments to sections 236C and 236K, effective 1 July 2026.
