About Who built this and why

Built by one person. For Pakistani taxpayers, in plain language.

TaxWizard.pk is a small, independent project — a free, FBR-compliant calculator and a twice-weekly journal — built to help working Pakistanis read their salary slip with confidence.

Ahmed Fiazjan

Hi, I'm Ahmed, a software developer from Pakistan. I built TaxWizard because every year I'd watch friends and family wrestle with the FBR's slab tables, lose track of withholding deductions, or get a surprise bill in September — and none of the existing tools were any help.

The goal is dead simple: accurate numbers, in the format Pakistani payslips actually use ("Rs 1,78,667", not "PKR 178,667"), explained in language that doesn't presume a chartered accountant on call.

What it covers

Every taxpayer category that matters here.

  • Salaried individuals. Every monthly band from Rs 50,000 to Rs 10 lakh, modelled against current and prior FBR slabs.
  • Business and AOP filers. The non-salaried slab table — rates step up faster than most people realise.
  • IT exporters and freelancers. Both the PSEB-registered 0.25% regime and the standard 1% on foreign-currency receipts.
  • Property income. The special-rate slab table for rental income.
  • Mid-year residuals. How much you still owe after withholding, before the September deadline.
House rules

What this place is — and isn't.

Accurate

Slabs and formulas match official FBR notifications. When the law changes, the calculator follows within days, not months.

Free

No paywall, no signup, no premium tier. The journal subscription is opt-in and free.

Plain-language

We assume you have a job, not a chartered accountancy. Every term gets explained the first time it appears.

Disclaimer

A note on limits.

Educational purpose. The calculator is for estimation. The numbers reflect standard slab application — they don't substitute for filing or professional review.

Individual circumstances vary. Allowable deductions, exemptions, multiple income sources, mid-year changes — all can shift your real number.

Get professional advice for complex cases. Investment income, capital gains, business structures, international income — those need a qualified chartered accountant.

No liability. Decisions made on the basis of this calculator are yours alone. See the full disclaimer for the formal language.
