Capital gains tax calculator
Work out the capital gains tax on a sale of listed shares on the Pakistan Stock Exchange. Enter the dates, the number of shares and the two prices, and the calculator applies the rate for the period in which you bought the shares. The rate is set by the date of purchase, not the date of sale, so shares bought years apart are taxed differently even when you sell them on the same day. All figures are in Pakistani rupees (PKR).

How it was worked out
| Working | Amount (Rs) |
|---|---|
| Sale proceeds | — |
| Less: expenses at 0.5% | — |
| Net sale proceeds | — |
| Cost of acquisition | — |
| Add: cost at 0.5% | — |
| Net cost of acquisition | — |
| Gain | — |
| Capital gains tax | — |
Capital gains tax is charged on the gain, being the sale proceeds less the cost of acquisition. In place of actual brokerage, commission and transaction costs, 0.5 per cent of each leg is allowed as an incidental expense, so the cost of acquisition is increased and the sale proceeds reduced by that amount. The rate itself is fixed by the date the shares were bought, not the date they were sold: shares bought before 1 July 2013 are exempt, and each later period has its own rate, which falls as the holding period lengthens for shares bought between 1 July 2022 and 30 June 2024. The rate quoted above is the one for tax year 2027 (1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027).
This calculator covers listed shares sold on the Pakistan Stock Exchange for individuals and associations of persons. It does not cover mutual fund units, debt securities, property or company accounts, and it does not include Super Tax under section 4C.
