About this tool
Buying a house or plot in Pakistan is not only the agreed price. Provinces collect stamp duty on the conveyance, local or TMA charges often sit beside it, and FBR collects advance tax under section 236K from the buyer. This calculator applies modelled urban rates for Punjab, Sindh, Islamabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, then 236K at the filer or non-filer rate on the declared value. Rural tables, filer relief and DC-value rules can be lower or higher. Confirm with the registrar and a lawyer before you pay. It is an estimate, not a challan.
How to use this tool
- Pick the provinceStamp and local percentages follow that province's modelled urban conveyance table.
- Enter the declared value in PKRUse the figure that will go on the instrument, which may be DC value rather than the market price.
- Tick Active Taxpayer List if the buyer is a filer236K is much higher for a non-filer. The total to budget is stamp plus local plus 236K.
What you pay when buying property in Pakistan
The agreed price is only part of the cost. The province charges stamp duty on the transfer deed, local or TMA charges may apply, and FBR collects advance tax from the buyer under section 236K. The seller pays separate advance tax under section 236C.
Rates depend on the province, the property value and whether you are on the Active Taxpayer List: non-filers pay much higher withholding rates. Use this estimate to budget, and confirm the final figures with the registrar or your lawyer before the transfer.
Key features
- Stamp, local/TMA and FBR 236K in one total instead of three separate guesses.
- Punjab, Sindh, ICT, KP and Balochistan tables.
- Filer versus non-filer switch for 236K (3% modelled for filers, 10.5% for non-filers).
- Percentage of declared value so you can compare provinces.
- Runs in your browser. Nothing is filed with FBR or a Board of Revenue.
Common uses
- Budgeting transfer costs before exchanging on a Punjab or Sindh house.
- Seeing how much extra 236K costs if the buyer is not on the ATL.
- Comparing Islamabad conveyance with a similar price in Lahore.
- Explaining to a family why the "price" is not the amount they must bring to the registrar.
Tips for better results
- Registrars often tax DC value, not the cash price you negotiated. Using the higher of the two is the conservative budget.
- Stay on the Active Taxpayer List before you buy. Non-filer 236K is modelled at 10.5% versus 3% for filers.
- This is not the UK SDLT tool. Use Stamp Duty Calculator for England, Scotland, Wales or Australia.
- Capital-value tax, CVT history and town-specific cesses can still appear on a real challan.
Mistakes to avoid
- Entering market price when the deed will use a lower DC rate, or the reverse.
- Forgetting 236K and only budgeting stamp duty.
- Applying a Punjab 3%+1% model to a rural mutation that uses a different table.
- Treating the total as a government notice. It is a planning estimate.
