How it works

The numbers behind your result

Your take-home is gross pay less Income Tax, National Insurance and any pension. We apply 2026-27 thresholds, taper the personal allowance above £100,000, and split Income Tax across the basic, higher and additional rate bands.

FAQ

Which tax year does this use?

2026-27, using current HMRC bands and thresholds for England & Northern Ireland.

Does it include Scotland's rates?

Not yet — Scottish income tax bands differ. A Scotland toggle is on the roadmap.

Is salary sacrifice handled?

Yes. Pension contributions are deducted before tax and NI, lowering both.
