Tax comparison
| Transaction | Section | Taxed on | Filer | Non-filer | Difference | Treatment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash withdrawal from a bank | s.231AB | PKR 1,200,000 | PKR 0 | PKR 9,600 | PKR 9,600 | Adjustable |
| Profit on debt / bank profit | s.151, Div. IA Part III, First Schedule | PKR 200,000 | PKR 40,000 | PKR 80,000 | PKR 40,000 | Final tax |
A non-filer pays PKR 49,600 more across these transactions.
- PKR 40,000 of that is final tax — a permanent cost that filing cannot recover.
- PKR 9,600 is adjustable — creditable against your final liability, and refundable if it exceeds it, but only if you file a return.
Once a single day's cash withdrawals exceed PKR 50,000, the whole amount is taxed — not just the part above PKR 50,000.

Formula & how it works
For each transaction the calculator computes:
- Filer tax = amount × filer rate
- Non-filer tax = amount × non-filer rate
- Saving by filing = non-filer tax − filer tax
It then sums the saving across all the transactions you enter for the year.
Example calculations
Say you withdraw PKR 100,000 in cash on a single day and earn PKR 200,000 of bank profit over the year. Because the day's withdrawal exceeds the PKR 50,000 threshold, the whole PKR 100,000 is charged at 0.8% — PKR 800 for a non-filer, and nothing at all for a filer. On the profit, a non-filer is deducted 40% against a filer's 20%, a difference of PKR 40,000. Note the two are different in kind: the withdrawal tax is adjustable against your final liability, the profit deduction is final. Enter your own amounts above for your personal figure.
Filer vs Non-Filer Savings in Pakistan
In Pakistan, your filer status directly affects how much tax you pay on everyday transactions. Non-filers face higher withholding tax on cash withdrawals, bank profit, vehicle registration and property deals. For many salaried people and small business owners, the annual saving from filing easily exceeds the cost of hiring a consultant.
