This is an estimate based on a standard tax code (1257L / S1257L), NI category A and annual figures. Your payslip may differ because of your tax code, benefits in kind, cumulative payroll, pay timing or other circumstances. Not tax advice. How we calculate

Frequently asked questions

Can I enter a monthly or hourly figure?

Yes. Choose how you are paid next to the amount and the calculator converts it to an annual figure first. Hourly pay assumes 52 paid weeks a year.

Which National Insurance category is used?

Category A, which applies to most employees under State Pension age.

Does it include my employer's pension contribution?

No. Only your own contribution affects take-home pay, so employer contributions are not shown.
