Budget 2020: Use this income tax calculator to see your take-home salary
Easily calculate your monthly income tax deduction and take-home salary for next year.
The income tax exemptions announced last year, which had generously excluded everyone with a salary of less than Rs100,000 a month (Rs1.2 million a year) from paying income taxes, have been scrapped.
The PTI government has proposed reinstating taxes on everyone making a salary of more than Rs50,000 a month (Rs600,000 a year). The government has also introduced 11 tax slabs with a progressive taxation rate ranging from 5pc to 35pc of income.
Use the calculator below to calculate your income tax liability and take-home salary for next year.
Calculator might take a moment to load. Please wait.

We will pay lot of tax but this is good step, all developed countries have similar taxation. Govt need to bring tax invaders, like traders and shop owners into tax net, they must pay GST diff on their sale minus GST they paid on purchases. Now we are running a government. Well done PTI, I'm happy to pay tax as long I know it wouldn't be ending up in ruler pocket and that's not happening as long IK is in power... Good luck Kaptaan

It will not be beneficial for government to impose more and more tax on salaried class. Govt. should take action against tax evaders and retailers and include them in tax net because imposing higher tax rate on same number of people will not be beneficial.

On top of income tax, we pay up to 19% as indirect taxes on our purchases and living expenses. Meaning if someone is in 25% income tax bracket then he is actually paying 44% of his income in taxes. I hope our beloved celebrity politicians understand this simple math.

Income tax increase is only taxing the already taxed salary class. This is unfair. Aim to get the one’s living in big houses and not paying enough.
One way is to tax people depending on is the ‘value’ of the property they live in. Say 5% every year. Imran Khan can lead the way, by paying 5% tax on his 300 kanal house. Generals/Judges and business people having multiple properties should all pay accordingly.
All luxury items, including air conditioners, cars, overseas travel etc should be taxed at a higher rate.

We senior citizens have been paying taxes to the Governments for the last so many years but still the government does not give any relief to us from taxes.
