PSX Profit & Tax Calculator

The most accurate tool for Pakistan Stock Exchange investors to calculate **Net Take-Home Profit** after accounting for all government taxes (CGT, CVT, SST), exchange levies, and brokerage commissions.

Understanding PSX Taxes

1. Capital Gains Tax (CGT)

CGT is withheld by the NCCPL on your net profits. For the current financial year, if you are an **Active Taxpayer (Filer)**, the rate is 15%. For **Non-Filers**, the rate is doubled to 30%.

2. Sindh Sales Tax (SST)

This is a tax on the *service* provided by your broker. It is 15% of the commission amount, not the total trade value. (Rates vary for Punjab/KPK).

3. CVT & Stamp Duty

These are fixed government levies of 0.01% each, applied to the purchase value of your shares.

Maximize Your Net Profit

Brokerage Negotiation: If you trade frequently, ask your broker for a lower percentage (e.g., 0.05% instead of 0.15%). This significantly lowers your breakeven price.

Stay Filer: Non-filers pay double the CGT. Simply becoming a filer can save you 15% of your total trading profit.

Holding Period: While most current rates are flat, holding stocks long-term (multi-year) historically offers tax benefits in Pakistan. Keep an eye on Finance Act updates.
