Estimates only

Every result on this site is an estimate, worked from the figures entered and the published 2026/27 rates and thresholds. A result shows what the rules produce for the numbers given — it is not a payslip, a payment instruction or a confirmed entitlement.

Individual circumstances vary

Real pay is shaped by things a general calculator cannot see. Student loan repayments, pension contributions, salary sacrifice arrangements, Scottish income tax rates and benefits in kind can all change the real figures, sometimes by a lot.

Not professional advice

Nothing on this site is legal, tax, accounting or payroll advice for a specific situation. The guides explain the general rules in plain English; they do not settle an individual case.

Verify before you rely

Before making a payroll decision, check the figure against the official guidance on GOV.UK and HMRC's employer guidance, or ask a qualified accountant. Where the amounts matter, that check is not optional.

Not affiliated with GOV.UK or HMRC

UK Payroll Calculators is an independent site. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting on behalf of GOV.UK or HMRC, and the official guidance on GOV.UK always takes precedence over anything here.
