Smart Tips

No pension contribution set

Most UK employers are required to auto-enrol eligible employees into a workplace pension (minimum 5% employee + 3% employer). Check if you should account for pension contributions in your calculation.

Add your tax code for a more accurate estimate

Your tax code (e.g. 1257L) determines your exact personal allowance. Find it on your payslip, P60, or HMRC online account. Without it, we use the standard allowance.

Your effective deduction rate is 17.9%

This is your total tax, NI, and other deductions as a percentage of gross income. The £12,570 personal allowance means your effective rate is lower than the headline tax rate.
