HR and payroll software that gets Pakistan right.
FBR income tax slabs, EOBI, and provincial social security — SESSI, PESSI, ESSI, BESSI — calculated correctly on every payroll run. Built for companies operating under Pakistani law, not adapted from a template built for somewhere else.
Mapped to the laws that actually govern payroll in Pakistan
Income tax, EOBI, and provincial social security are calculated automatically — filing and remittance to each authority remains yours to complete.
Not a global tool with a currency toggle.
A dedicated Pakistan tax engine.
FBR-compliant income tax, every run
The FY 2024-25 salaried-individual slabs are built in — 0% up to PKR 600,000, then 5%, 15%, 25%, 30%, and 35% at the top bracket. Every payroll run applies the correct withholding automatically, and the slabs update the moment FBR revises them.
EOBI, calculated and tracked
Employees' Old-Age Benefits Institution contributions — 1% employee, 5% employer, capped on the minimum wage base — are computed on every run and itemized on the payslip, so nobody has to work it out by hand.
Provincial social security, done right
Assign each employee's province and ProtoHR applies the correct institution — SESSI, PESSI, ESSI, or BESSI — at 1% employee / 6% employer, up to the PKR 30,000 wage ceiling. No more guessing which rate applies to which office.
Payroll that speaks PKR
Pakistan is a native payroll country: Pakistani Rupees by default, a July–June fiscal year to match Pakistan's tax year, and generated payslips with every statutory deduction broken out line by line.
“Which slab, which institution, which province” is the wrong question to be answering by hand every payday. It should be settled the moment you assign an employee — not re-derived every month from a spreadsheet someone built two years ago.
Set an employee’s province once. Every payroll run after that applies the correct FBR tax bracket, EOBI contribution, and provincial social security rate — with each deduction itemized on the payslip.
No implementation partner.
No spreadsheet migration.
Set your country to Pakistan
PKR becomes your default currency and your fiscal year is set to July–June automatically, matching FBR's tax year.
Assign each employee's province
Sindh, Punjab, KPK, or Balochistan — this is what determines whether SESSI, PESSI, ESSI, or BESSI applies.
Run payroll
Income tax, EOBI, and social security are calculated automatically, itemized on the payslip, and ready for review before disbursement.
The compliance details,
taken seriously.
Most payroll tools bolt Pakistan on as an afterthought — a currency symbol and a flat tax rate. Here is what is actually built into ProtoHR’s Pakistan tax engine.
Income tax slabs that stay current
Six-bracket FBR slabs for salaried individuals, from 0% to 35%, applied per employee based on annualized gross — recalculated automatically if a salary changes mid-year.
EOBI, employee and employer share
1% employee and 5% employer contribution on the EOBI minimum-wage base (PKR 37,000), computed on every pay run and carried into your payslip and payroll reports.
Four provincial institutions, one system
SESSI (Sindh), PESSI (Punjab), ESSI (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), and BESSI (Balochistan) — each employee is mapped to the right institution by province, with 1% employee / 6% employer up to the PKR 30,000 ceiling.
Leave policies built around local rules
Configure accrual, carry-forward, notice periods, and paid-holiday rules to match the Standing Orders Ordinance and your province's Shops & Establishments rules — instead of copying a template built for another country.
A fiscal year that matches Pakistan's
Payroll and reporting run on a July–June fiscal year by default when you set your organization to Pakistan, so your numbers line up with the tax year FBR uses.
Payslips with every deduction itemized
Income tax, EOBI, and social security appear as separate line items on every payslip — so an employee (or an auditor) can see exactly how net pay was calculated.
An audit log that answers questions
Every change to a salary, a payroll run, or an employee record is recorded with who made it, when, their IP address, and the before/after values.
Tenant isolation at the database
Your company's data is separated from every other tenant by PostgreSQL row-level security — enforced at the database, not by application code remembering to filter.
Replace the spreadsheet
and the compliance guesswork.
Stop maintaining a hand-built FBR tax table alongside a separate EOBI tracker and a fourth spreadsheet for social security. ProtoHR keeps your entire Pakistani workforce — and its statutory deductions — in one place.

Before you switch,
the honest answers.
Does ProtoHR file my FBR, EOBI, or social security returns?
No — and we want to be upfront about that. ProtoHR calculates the correct income tax withholding, EOBI, and provincial social security contributions on every pay run, itemized and ready to hand to your accountant or filing system. Filing and remittance to FBR, EOBI, and your provincial institution stays with you.
Which provinces are supported?
All four: Sindh (SESSI), Punjab (PESSI), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (ESSI), and Balochistan (BESSI). Set each employee's province once and the correct institution and contribution rate apply on every run.
Can we run payroll in PKR?
Yes. Pakistan is a fully supported payroll country — PKR is the default currency, and your fiscal year defaults to July–June to match FBR's tax year.
We have employees across more than one province — does that work?
Yes. Province is set per employee, not per company, so a team split across Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, and Quetta each gets the right social security institution automatically.
How is our data protected?
Each organization's data is isolated by PostgreSQL row-level security at the database layer, every sensitive change is captured in an audit log with who, when, and what changed, and access is controlled by role-based permissions with SSO/SAML support.
What does it cost?
Your first 10 employees are free, forever, with full product access. Beyond that it's a flat per-employee monthly rate with volume discounts at 51 and 101 employees — see the pricing page for exact PKR figures.
