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.
- How much tax do I pay on a £30,000 salary in the UK?
- On a £30,000 salary in 2026/27 you pay £3,486 Income Tax (20% on £17,430 above the £12,570 Personal Allowance) and £1,394 National Insurance (8% Class 1 on pay above £12,570). Take-home is around £25,120/year or £2,093/month - before any pension contribution or student loan. Use the calculator above to see your specific figure with all deductions.
- What is the take-home pay on a £50,000 salary?
- A £50,000 salary in 2026/27 gives roughly £39,170 take-home per year (£3,264/month) - £7,486 Income Tax (£12,570 PA tax-free, then 20% on £37,430) plus £3,000 National Insurance at 8% on the same band. Push above £50,270 and the marginal tax rate jumps to 42% (40% Income Tax + 2% NI). The calculator handles pension contributions and salary sacrifice if you tick More options.
- Is the salary calculator free to use?
- Yes - SalaryTax is fully free, requires no signup, and stores nothing about your salary on our servers. The calculation runs entirely in your browser. We do show non-personalised ads to fund hosting (you can opt out via the cookie preferences in the footer), and we never sell, share, or even see the figures you type in.
