Overseas Pakistani Tax Calculator
As a non-resident your foreign salary is not taxed in Pakistan. What is taxed is Pakistan-source income — and what really costs you is buying property while off the Active Taxpayer List.
Free, no sign-up. Every rate comes from the published FBR and provincial schedules.
These rates are pending final verification against the current Finance Act. Confirm with us before relying on them for a transaction.

This is an estimate based on the published salaried slab rates for the tax year selected. It is not tax advice. Your actual liability depends on allowances, tax credits, other sources of income and tax already withheld from you.
Worth knowing
- Non-resident status depends on days spent in Pakistan in the tax year, not on where you hold a passport or a visa.
- Remittances sent home through banking channels are not income and are not taxed. They still belong in your wealth statement.
- You can be on the Active Taxpayer List as a non-resident. Filing a return is what puts you there, and it is what makes the filer property rate available to you.
Advance tax on the purchase of immovable property — section 236K
Collected by the registering authority at the time of transfer, and adjustable against your annual liability if you file.
| Property value | Filer | Late filer | Non-filer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to Rs. 50 million | 1.5% | 4.5% | 10.5% |
| Rs. 50m to Rs. 100m | 2% | 5.5% | 14.5% |
| Above Rs. 100 million | 2.5% | 6.5% | 18.5% |

Want the real number, not an estimate?
A calculator works from the figures you give it. Your actual position accounts for allowances, credits, other income and every rupee already withheld from you — which is frequently more than the tax you owe.
