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an approved pension fund, while being honest that Pakistan's tax-credit rules have changed often and some benefits were withdrawn.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 Several of these were changed or withdrawn in recent Finance Acts, so eligibility must be verified with FBR.
