What the token tax calculator works out
A Punjab token tax bill has more than one line. Therefore the calculator adds up the same parts the ePay challan shows, which makes its total easy to compare with the real bill.
- Motor vehicle tax, the token tax itself, by engine size and invoice price.
- Income tax under section 234, which depends on whether you are a filer.
- Professional tax of Rs 200 on private vehicles.
- The 10% rebate on the token tax when the full year is paid by 31 August.
The rates come from the Excise Department's Motor Vehicle Tax table for 2026/27. Our token tax Punjab guide lists every rate in full, and our how we check page explains how we keep them current.
The numbers you need before you start
Engine capacity. First, find the engine size. It is printed on the smart card and in the registration book, in cc.
Invoice price. Next, find the invoice price. This is the price on the purchase invoice used at the first registration, not the price you paid a later owner.
Filer status. Then check whether you are on the FBR Active Taxpayers List with your CNIC. A filer pays a third of the income tax a non filer pays.
Years since registration. Finally, you need this only for a bike or a car up to 1000 cc that is changing hands.
How the Punjab token tax calculation works
Below is the method the calculator follows, so you can also check any figure by hand.
- Find the band for the engine size: up to 1000 cc, 1001 to 2000 cc, or above 2000 cc.
- For a car above 1000 cc, multiply the invoice price by 0.3%, or by 0.4% above 2000 cc.
- For a bike or a car up to 1000 cc, the token tax is a one time Rs 1,500 or Rs 20,000 at registration.
- Add the income tax for the engine size, at the filer or the non filer rate.
- Add Rs 200 professional tax, then take 10% off the token tax if you pay by 31 August.
Three worked examples for Punjab car token tax
For testing, these examples use the 2026/27 rates and round figures, so you can test the calculator against them. In each case the owner has no arrears.
In particular, look at the middle row. The non filer pays Rs 13,500 in income tax, while a filer with the same car would pay Rs 4,500. That gap of Rs 9,000 a year is often larger than the whole rebate.
Life time token tax on a transfer
However, bikes and cars up to 1000 cc work differently. When one changes hands within ten years of registration, the new owner pays the life time amount again, less 10% for each financial year since registration.
- A 660 cc car transferred after three years: Rs 20,000 less 30%, which is Rs 14,000.
- A motorcycle transferred after four years: Rs 1,500 less 40%, which is Rs 900.
- Either vehicle after ten years: nothing more is due.
Why the calculator and your ePay challan can differ
A calculator estimates, whereas the challan is the bill. So when the two do not match, one of these reasons is usually behind it.
Arrears. Unpaid years from earlier owners stay on the vehicle and appear on the challan. A calculator, however, only knows this year.
An older car. For cars registered before July 2024, the department's table still lists the older fixed amounts beside the percentage, and the challan may use them.
A different invoice price. The Excise record may hold another value for your car than the one you typed.
Penalties. In June 2026 the department warned defaulters of a 100% penalty surcharge, which no calculator can predict.
Small charges. Also, ePay adds a Rs 15 platform charge, and the rebate disappears after 31 August.
Official calculators to double check
In addition, the Excise Department runs its own calculators for token tax, new registrations and transfers. Because they read the vehicle's record, they include arrears. Use them, or the ePay app, as the final word before you pay.

In practice, a calculator is most useful before July and August, when the new tax year begins. These four habits keep the bill as low as the law allows.
Pay by 31 August. The 10% rebate on a Rs 21,000 token tax is Rs 2,100, and it needs nothing but timing.
Become a filer. Filing a return cuts the income tax line to a third, which therefore matters more on larger cars.
Check before you buy. Use our vehicle verification form to see the "token tax paid up to" date, so arrears do not become your bill.
Think about the next car. Electric vehicles get a 99% concession on the token tax for 2026/27.
Questions about the token tax calculator
Is this token tax calculator official?
No. In fact, it is an independent tool that uses the rates the Excise Department publishes. For the exact amount on your vehicle, including any arrears, use the department's own calculator or search the number on ePay Punjab before you pay.
Does the calculator include unpaid years?
No. Instead, it works out one year of tax from the details you type. Arrears are stored on the vehicle's record, so only the ePay app and the official calculator can show them. Check them before you buy any used car.
Can I calculate token tax for a motorcycle?
Yes, although the answer is usually simple. A motorcycle pays Rs 1,500 once, at registration. The calculator matters for a bike only when it changes hands within ten years, because the new owner pays part of that amount again.
Why does the result change on 1 September?
Mainly because the 10% rebate ends on 31 August. From 1 September, the same car pays the full token tax for the year, and late payment can bring penalties. So the cheapest month to pay is July or August.
Do I need the registration number to use it?
No. The calculator needs the engine size, the invoice price and your filer status. By contrast, the ePay app and the official calculator ask for the registration number, because they read the vehicle's record.
