UK Salary Calculator 2026/27

Use the UK Salary Calculator to estimate your monthly or annual take-home pay from your gross salary. The calculator applies PAYE Income Tax and National Insurance contributions to show your estimated net salary.

You can select whether you are a Scottish taxpayer, include Marriage Allowance, choose the relevant Student Loan plan and adjust pension contributions or salary sacrifice to see how these factors may affect the final result. The calculator also shows your effective tax rate, annual net income, take-home percentage and effective personal allowance.

For employers, the calculator estimates the total employer cost by adding employer National Insurance and automatic enrolment pension contributions to the employee’s gross salary. This makes it easier to compare gross salary, take-home pay and the total monthly employer cost in the UK.
