The calculation and the image are produced in your browser. The salary you enter is not sent to our server.

1200×630px output - sized for social-media sharing (Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Reddit, Facebook).

  • The image is an illustration of estimated UK take-home pay based on HMRC published rates, thresholds and bands for the selected tax year. It is not a real itemised payslip under Employment Rights Act 1996 s.8 - your employer must provide that separately.
  • Do not use the generated image to misrepresent your earnings (e.g. mortgage applications, rental references, immigration paperwork). Fraudulent use is an offence under the Fraud Act 2006 (s.2, fraud by false representation). Every image is drawn with an "ILLUSTRATION - NOT AN OFFICIAL PAYSLIP" label.
  • Output is calculated from this site's tax-rules file, which cites gov.uk and HMRC primary sources. It assumes the standard Personal Allowance and treats the pension percentage as salary sacrifice. Personal circumstances (tax codes, Benefit in Kind (BIK), K-codes, student loans, other salary sacrifice schemes, Marriage Allowance, Blind Person's Allowance) are not modelled on this page - use the main salary calculator for those.
  • This page is for general information only and is not tax advice. Verify any figure with HMRC before relying on it. Salarytax.uk and its contributors accept no liability for use of the output.

How it works

  1. Enter your annual gross salary, UK region and tax year.
  2. Add any pension salary-sacrifice percentage if applicable.
  3. Click Generate payslip - the canvas renders client-side using the site's tax engine.
  4. Click Download PNG to save a 1200×630 image.
  5. Share the PNG wherever you like - it carries the salarytax.uk name and the illustration label.
