How This Is Calculated

This calculator uses the official HMRC tax bands and National Insurance thresholds for the 2025/26 tax year (6 April 2025 to 5 April 2026).

Personal Allowance: The first £12,570 of income is tax-free. For incomes over £100,000, the allowance reduces by £1 for every £2 earned above this threshold, reaching zero at £125,140.

Scottish taxpayers pay different income tax rates set by the Scottish Parliament. Select the Scotland option if you live in Scotland.

Student loans are repaid at 9% of income above the plan threshold (6% for postgraduate loans). Repayments are calculated before pension deductions.

Pension contributions are assumed to be salary sacrifice (deducted before tax). Adjust the percentage to match your employer's scheme.
