2. Individual Income Tax Calculator

For a non-salaried individual, including many business/self-employed cases:

These slabs remain applicable to non-salaried individuals/AOPs for TY 2027.

Important: Non-salaried individual par 10% surcharge can apply where taxable income exceeds Rs. 10 million; the 2026 change removing the surcharge was for salaried individuals.


3. Business Income Tax Calculator

Is calculator ko business type ke according banana chahiye.

Individual / Sole Proprietor

Agar business individual/AOP ke naam par hai, above non-salaried slabs: 0%–45% apply.

Small Company

20%

Other Company

29%

Super Tax

Standard sectors mein TY 2027 ke liye:

  • Up to Rs. 500 million → 0%
  • Above Rs. 500 million → 8%

Banking, E&P aur fertilizer sectors ke special rules alag ho sakte hain.


4. Freelancer Tax Calculator

Freelancer ko ek single 1% rate par calculate nahi karna chahiye.

Normal regime

Agar freelancer normal slabs on net income choose karta hai:

0%–45% non-salaried individual slabs apply.

Export of IT / IT-enabled services

Section 154A:

  • PSEB-registered / qualifying IT & IT-enabled exports → 0.25%
  • Other qualifying export-of-services cases → 1%

Finance Act 2026 extended the 0.25% concessionary rate for IT/IT-enabled services up to Tax Year 2029.

So your Freelancer Calculator mein ideally options hon:

Tax Regime
├── Normal slabs on net income
├── Export of IT / IT-enabled services — 0.25%
└── Other export of services — 1%

5. Capital Gains Tax Calculator

Iska single rate nahi hai.

Property acquired on/after 1 July 2024

ATL: 15% of capital gain

Non-ATL individual/AOP: normal applicable income-tax rates, but tax cannot be less than 15% of the gain.

Property acquired on/before 30 June 2024

Old holding-period structure remains applicable, with rates depending on:

  • Open plot
  • Constructed property
  • Flat
  • Holding period

For example, open plot can range from 15% down to 0% depending on holding period.

Securities acquired on/after 1 July 2025

ATL: 15%
Non-ATL: 30%

Securities acquired 1 July 2024–30 June 2025

ATL: 15%
Non-ATL: 30%

PMEX commodity futures

5%

Debt securities / Section 151A

ATL: 20%
Non-ATL: 40%

So your CGT calculator should determine the rate from asset type + acquisition date + taxpayer status, rather than simply showing one 15% rate.


6. WHT Calculator

11. Dividend WHT Calculator — Section 150

Normal/general dividend:
