Quick answer
Content creators in Pakistan typically earn PKR 5,000–30,000 per sponsored TikTok or Reel at 1K–10K followers and PKR 30,000–2,00,000 at 10K–100K, paid in Pakistani rupees. Brands in Karachi and Lahore — especially FMCG and food and fashion and lawn/bridal wear — book local creators most. To start, publish fixed-price packages on CollabMarket; brands pay into escrow before you create.
The creator market in Pakistan
TikTok and YouTube have the largest audiences in Pakistan, followed by Facebook and Instagram; many freelancers sell to international clients rather than only local ones. Creating in Urdu, English and Punjabi widens the brands you can work with — regional-language creators often face less competition for the same budgets.

Licence

Tax
Freelance export income received through banking channels can qualify for reduced final tax rates (these change with each budget — check the current FBR rate). Being on the FBR Active Taxpayer List lowers withholding on bank transactions.
