Freelancer tax & remote-income calculator
Convert USD income to PKR, separate fees from tax, and see which documented regime may apply—without assuming every foreign payment is a qualifying export.
Estimated net PKR income
Your result will appear here
We will show conversion, fees, tax rate, eligibility conditions and the decision trail separately.
What this estimate includes
PKR or USD proceeds, an editable dated exchange rate, payment and conversion fees, qualifying service-export withholding, PSEB status, and the new social-platform regime.
What it deliberately excludes
Mixed income, local business-profit tax, deductions and expenses, sales-tax registration, foreign tax credits, and a complete income-tax return assessment.
Why classification comes first
A foreign client does not automatically mean 0.25% tax.
The concession requires a qualifying IT or IT-enabled export, PSEB registration and certification, and receipt through an authorised foreign-exchange channel. Employment, local income, and social-platform revenue follow different rules.
