Monthly Tax Deduction Calculation – Quick Guide
To estimate your monthly tax deduction:
Annualize your salary (monthly salary × 12).
Apply the relevant tax slab to calculate your annual tax liability.
Divide by 12 to get the monthly withholding tax amount.
For example, as noted by WebHR, if your annual salary is PKR 1.2 million, your annual tax would be PKR 15,000, which translates to PKR 1,250 per month
