Workers Profit Participation Fund Calculator Pakistan
Calculate the 5% contribution companies must make to the Workers' Profit Participation Fund (WPPF) under the Companies Profits (Workers' Participation) Act 1968. This fund provides annual distributions to eligible workers
Introduction
The Workers' Profit Participation Fund (WPPF) is a statutory mechanism in Pakistan that gives workers a share in company profits. Established under the Companies Profits (Workers' Participation) Act 1968, it requires applicable companies to contribute 5% of their annual profits to a fund for the benefit of eligible workers [citation:2]. This represents a significant compliance obligation for qualifying companies.
What is this calculator?
The WPPF Calculator Pakistan computes the annual contribution a company must make to the Workers' Profit Participation Fund. It applies the 5% rate to the company's annual profit and shows the total contribution amount [citation:2].
How the calculation works
The company calculates its annual profit, then contributes 5% of that profit to the WPPF. The fund is then allocated to eligible workers based on their service and wages [citation:2]. Workers can receive their allocation annually or leave it invested in the fund [citation:2].
Formula
WPPF Contribution = Annual Profit × 5%
For example, a company with Rs. 10,000,000 annual profit: 10,000,000 × 0.05 = Rs. 500,000
