Theory — how is the UK salary calculator worked out?
The calculator estimates annual and monthly take-home pay from gross income using the official 2026/27 tax year thresholds. The model applies the standard Personal Allowance, regional Income Tax rates and Category A National Insurance contributions. These rates cover the period from 6 April 2026 to 5 April 2027. The actual payslip may differ due to an individual tax code, pay period, bonuses or student loan repayments.
