How the calculation works
Pakistan taxes salaried income progressively. Your annual salary falls into a slab, and the tax is a fixed amount for that slab plus a percentage of whatever exceeds the slab floor. Employers deduct one-twelfth of the annual figure each month.
In Aiden HR this is automatic
Slabs live as versioned data — a tax year holds a slab set, and payroll reads the version in force for the period being run. When the Finance Act changes rates you add a new version; last year’s payslips stay exactly as they were computed.
See the FBR tax moduleHow is salary income tax calculated in Pakistan?
Salaried income tax is calculated on annual taxable salary using progressive slabs. Each slab adds a fixed amount plus a percentage of the income above that slab’s floor. Employers withhold one-twelfth of the annual tax from each monthly salary.
Is salary below the exemption threshold taxed?
No. Annual salary up to the first slab threshold is taxed at zero. Above it, tax applies only to the portion of income inside each higher slab, not to the whole salary.
Does Aiden HR calculate this automatically in payroll?
Yes. Aiden HR applies your configured FBR slabs during every payroll run and withholds tax automatically, storing slabs as versioned data per tax year so historical payrolls never change when rates do.
