What Pakistan payroll has to calculate, withhold and file
Each item below becomes a salary rule, a bank file, or a report we test before the first live run.
- 1
EOBI old-age benefits contribution is 5% from the employer and 1% from the employee, calculated on the federal minimum wage rather than on actual salary. That fixed base is the detail most generic payroll builds get wrong.
Unconfirmed. Sources agreed, no primary confirmation found.
- 2
Employers with six or more workers must register with the provincial social security institution for the province the employee works in, PESSI in Punjab and SESSI in Sindh. The contribution is employer only.
Unconfirmed. Sources agreed, no primary confirmation found.
- 3
Salary tax withheld by the employer is deposited with FBR within seven days, and a withholding statement is filed quarterly by the 20th after quarter end. The tax year ends 30 June, and annual salary certificates follow it.
Unconfirmed. Sources agreed, no primary confirmation found.

Odoo has no payroll localization for Pakistan. The Odoo 19 payroll localization list covers Australia, Belgium, Egypt, Hong Kong, India, Jordan, Kenya, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, the UAE and the United States. Pakistan is not on it, so EOBI, provincial social security and the salary tax slabs are a build.
Checked Localization notes on this page checked on 22 August 2026.
Rates, formats, thresholds and submission windows change. We configure against the rules in force at build time and confirm every figure with your accountant or tax advisor before sign-off. If a rule moves after go-live, it is a support ticket, not a rebuild. Read more on our Odoo localization service.
How we build payroll for Pakistan
The delivery method behind the list above. The same four steps on a 10-user rollout and on a multi-company programme, with the depth scaled to the scope.
- 1 Rules, not hard-coded numbers. Contributions and deductions are built as Odoo salary rules with dated parameters, so a rate change is a configuration edit rather than a code release.
- 2 Employee data gets audited first. Bank details, national identifiers, start dates and contract types. Bad master data is why most payroll go-lives slip, and it is cheap to fix early.
- 3 One parallel run, minimum. We run at least one cycle alongside your current system and reconcile it line by line with your HR and finance leads before switching over.
- 4 Bank files tested with the bank. Payment files and statutory reports are generated from Odoo and put through your bank as a test batch before the first live run.
What we need from you to quote it
Bring these to the first call and you get a scoped, priced payroll plan for Pakistan instead of a range.
- โ A full payslip for each contract type you run, from your current system.
- โ Your employee master file, including bank details and identifiers.
- โ The reports and files you submit today, and who you submit them to.
