Formula

Section 63 grants a TAX CREDIT, not an income deduction. The credit is (A ÷ B) × C, where A is the tax assessed before the credit, B is your taxable income, and C is the lesser of what you contributed and 20% of B. Because A ÷ B is your average tax rate, relief is given at the average rate — not at your top marginal rate.

Step by step

  1. 1. Tax before the credit (A)PKR 276,000
    Progressive slabs for Tax Year 2027 applied to PKR 3,000,000
  2. 2. Statutory contribution limit — 20% of taxable incomePKR 600,000

  3. 3. Eligible amount (C) — the lesser of the twoPKR 300,000

    Your contribution is within the 20% limit, so all of it qualifies.

Rounding

Nothing is rounded during the calculation — every step carries full precision and only the displayed figures are rounded to the nearest rupee. Your assessed tax may differ by a rupee or two from rounding applied at a different point.

Formula & how it works

  • Pension reduces taxable income (capped at 20.0% of income).
  • Tax saved = tax(before) − tax(after deduction and any credit).
  • Any available insurance/shares credit is applied at your average tax rate.

Tax-Deductible Investment Planner Pakistan

Investing for retirement can also lower your tax bill — when the rules allow it. This planner estimates how much income tax you could save by contributing to an approved pension fund, while being honest that Pakistan's tax-credit rules have changed often and some benefits were withdrawn.

We deliberately do not invent benefits. The config file makes it easy to switch credits on or off as the law changes. Always confirm your eligibility with the FBR or a professional before investing for tax reasons. To see your starting tax, use the FBR Income Tax Calculator.

Frequently asked questions

Historically, contributions to approved pension funds (deductible allowance) and certain life-insurance/new-share investments (tax credit) reduced tax. Several of these were changed or withdrawn in recent Finance Acts, so eligibility must be verified with FBR.
