An annual UK take-home pay estimate for 2026/27, with separate views of Income Tax, National Insurance, student-loan repayments and selected household deductions.
Compare a current salary with another salary using the same tax-year rules, inspect the annual and monthly deduction breakdown, and estimate how pension method, region, benefits in kind, Child Benefit and commuting assumptions affect the result. The editable example is derived from the initial form values and remains replaceable.
Choose Scotland if you are a Scottish taxpayer; rUK applies England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The model applies the selected workplace pension method, but relief-at-source pensions, tax codes, other income, NI categories and payroll-period rounding are outside scope. Both salaries use the same 2026/27 assumptions, not a prior tax year.
The HICBC estimate assumes full Child Benefit for the number of children entered. Employer cost uses standard employer NI and the selected contribution rate on qualifying earnings; eligibility, Employment Allowance and scheme-specific rules may change the real figure. Commute-adjusted hourly pay uses entered annual commute hours and cost; leave days are assumed to include bank holidays. This is an annual estimate, not a payslip or personal tax advice.
These official GOV.UK and HMRC sources support the tax, National Insurance, pension, benefits-in-kind, student-loan, Child Benefit and Marriage Allowance explanations on this page. The report is an estimate and does not reproduce every payroll rule.
