Prime Minister Salary in Pakistan 2025 – Latest Update After Budget
In 2025, the Prime Minister of Pakistan earns a monthly basic salary of PKR 201,594—this amount does not cover allowances or benefits. With those added in, the total monthly package is estimated to be between PKR 250,000 to 300,000
What the PM Gets
Beyond pay, the Prime Minister enjoys many perks funded by the government:
- A grand official residence (PM House) with staff and security
- Official cars, fuel, and travel for work trips
- Free health care for him and immediate family
- Protocol staff, utilities, and office support included
Is the Pay Modest Compared to Others?
Interestingly, the Prime Minister’s official salary is still lower than many high-ranking officials:
| Position | Monthly Salary (PKR) |
|---|---|
| Prime Minister | 250,000 – 300,000 |
| Federal Minister / Advisers | ~519,000 |
| MNAs / Senators | ~519,000 |
Federal ministers and parliamentarians saw a big pay boost in 2025—now earning up to Rs 519,000 per month, showing a sharp contrast.
Meanwhile, most government workers got a 10% salary increase and a 7% pension hike through the 2025–26 budget.
What People Think
Many Pakistanis feel the PM’s pay shouldn’t be overly high—but must match the job’s importance:
“If a Prime Minister is leading the whole country, his pay should reflect the responsibility – but not come with unnecessary luxury.”
Some criticize the large raises granted to ministers, especially during economic hardship.
Final Thoughts
The Prime Minister’s modest salary, paired with state-paid perks, reflects a balance between responsibility and austerity. While the perks are generous, the actual cash pay remains lower than other top officials. In times of inflation, public scrutiny of these salaries has only grown, making transparency and fairness increasingly important.
