Sales tax (GST) calculator
Add tax to a price, or find the tax inside a price that already includes it.
18% is filled in as the standard federal sales tax rate on goods. Some items carry reduced or special rates, and services fall under provincial sales tax — confirm the rate for your products with your tax advisor or FBR.
How the calculation works
Adding tax: price × rate. Rs 10,000 at 18% is Rs 1,800 tax, Rs 11,800 total.
Taking tax out: divide by (1 + rate). A tax-inclusive Rs 11,800 at 18% is Rs 10,000 before tax — not 11,800 minus 18%, which gives the wrong answer of Rs 9,676.
Retailers who are required to integrate with FBR must print sales tax on every invoice. Doing that by hand at a busy counter is where mistakes creep in.

Is GST the same as sales tax in Pakistan?
People use both names. On goods it is the federal sales tax collected by FBR; on services, provincial revenue authorities collect sales tax.
