How to Calculate Your Net Pay

Your take-home pay is what remains of your earnings once statutory deductions—such as Income Tax, National Insurance, pension contributions, and student loans—are removed by your employer through PAYE (Pay As You Earn).

Enter Your Gross Salary Input your total annual earnings before any taxes or deductions are applied.
Select Your Tax Region Choose between standard UK rates (England, Wales, and Northern Ireland) or Scottish Income Tax rates.
Adjust Workplace Pension Set your employee pension contribution percentage using the slider (standard auto-enrolment is 5%).
Specify Student Loan Repayments Select your repayment plan to deduct statutory loan repayments matching your plan tier.

Frequently Asked Questions

The standard UK Personal Allowance is £12,570. This is the amount of income you can earn each tax year before paying Income Tax. The allowance tapers down by £1 for every £2 earned above £100,000, reaching zero at £125,140.

For Class 1 employees, National Insurance is charged at 8% on earnings between £12,570 and £50,270 per year. Any earnings above £50,270 are taxed at 2%.

The Scottish Parliament has devolved powers over Income Tax and operates a distinct multi-band structure (Starter, Basic, Intermediate, Higher, and Top rates) with separate threshold brackets.

Under workplace pension salary sacrifice arrangements, contributions are deducted from your gross pay before Income Tax is calculated, lowering your overall taxable earnings.
