Frequently asked questions
- How is my take-home pay calculated?
- We start with your gross salary, subtract any salary-sacrifice pension contribution, then deduct Income Tax, National Insurance, and any student loan repayments using the bands for your tax year and region.
- Does the calculator handle Scottish income tax?
- Yes — switch the Region toggle to Scotland. We use the current Scottish bands (Starter, Basic, Intermediate, Higher, Advanced, Top) set by the Scottish Government.
- What about Welsh tax?
- Wales has the Welsh Rate of Income Tax (WRIT). The Welsh Government currently matches UK rates, so take-home is identical to England. We model Wales separately so that future divergence would be reflected automatically.
- Can I switch to a previous tax year?
- Yes — we support 2023/24, 2024/25, 2025/26 and the current 2026/27 year. Pick any from the Tax year dropdown.
- How accurate are the figures?
- Every band and threshold is pulled from gov.uk / gov.scot publications, and our calculations are unit-tested against HMRC worked examples. See our methodology for details.
