## What is Takhmeena?

Takhmeena (تخمینہ, "estimate") is Pakistan's all-in-one calculator app — estimate your income tax, credit card tax, construction cost, solar system, electricity & gas bills, zakat and more. Simple, fast, and works offline.

INCOME TAX CALCULATOR
Estimate your salary income tax using the latest publicly published salary slabs (2025-26 & 2026-27). See monthly and yearly tax, the slab applied, surcharge, and compare your tax across 13 years.

CREDIT & DEBIT CARD TAX (SECTION 236Y)
Paying for a subscription, domain, hosting or online shopping in dollars? See what it really costs on a Pakistani credit, debit or prepaid card. Enter the price in dollars or the rupee amount from your statement, and Takhmeena breaks down all three charges: your bank's foreign-exchange markup, provincial sales tax on that markup, and federal advance tax under Section 236Y — 0.5% for filers and 1% for non-filers since 1 July 2026. Uses a live USD rate, and shows how much of it you can claim back when you file.

CONSTRUCTION COST CALCULATOR
Plan a build before you spend. Estimate a full house (grey or turnkey), a single room, an RCC roof slab, bricks, plaster, flooring, false ceiling and paint — with a bottom-up material list (cement bags, steel, bricks, sand, crush) and labour, adjusted for Village, City or Bahria/DHA rates.
Note: construction rates are market averages, not official government rates.

SOLAR CALCULATOR
Size a solar system and estimate its cost — by appliance load, known kW size, your electricity bill, low-cost DC, or UPS retrofit. Get inverter, panel and battery sizing with itemised price estimates and payback (ROI).

ELECTRICITY BILL CALCULATOR
Estimate your electricity bill using published NEPRA tariffs — protected/unprotected slabs, fuel adjustment, duties and GST, for every DISCO.

GAS BILL CALCULATOR
Estimate your gas bill (SNGPL / SSGC) using published OGRA slabs, with meter-reading input.

ZAKAT & USHER
Estimate zakat (2.5%, nisab) on gold, silver, cash and assets — and usher on crops.

PTA MOBILE TAX
Estimate mobile-device (PTA) tax by brand and model. For the exact figure, open the official websites below in your browser — Takhmeena only shows an estimate.
