Example
A salary of Rs 150,000 a month is Rs 1,800,000 a year. Tax is Rs 6,000 + 11% of Rs 600,000 = Rs 72,000 a year, or Rs 6,000 a month.
Is my whole salary taxable?
Usually, but some allowances can be exempt. Zakat paid can be deducted from taxable income, and some donations and pension contributions give a tax credit. Your employer’s payroll or a tax adviser can confirm.
Is anything I type saved?
No. The numbers are worked out in your browser and are not sent anywhere.
