Pakistan Freelancer Tax Calculator 2025‑26
Pakistan's freelancing sector is booming, with thousands earning through platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and direct client contracts. Calculating the correct income tax for freelance earnings is essential for staying compliant with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR). This Pakistan Freelancer Tax Calculator provides an instant estimate based on the latest 2025‑26 tax rules.
If you are a PSEB‑registered freelancer and a regular FBR filer, export‑related income is taxed at a reduced rate of 0.25 % under Section 154A. Non‑registered filers who are still on the FBR Active Taxpayer List pay 1 %, while non‑filers face a 2 % rate due to penalty provisions. The calculator automatically selects the appropriate rate based on your selections and shows both annual and monthly tax amounts, as well as net income after tax.
This tool does not store any personal data; it simply performs the calculation locally in your browser. For local services (in‑country freelance work) the standard FBR progressive slabs apply, which are displayed in the table below.
