These figures do not account for inflation. Loan deductions start only in years when the plan was available. NI uses category A without contracted-out rebates. For 2022/23 and 2023/24, the calculator averages mid-year changes across steady earnings.

The estimate uses regular pay, your selected deductions and the tax year’s standard allowance, reduced for higher income where needed. It leaves out custom tax codes, taxable benefits, other taxable income and relief-at-source pensions. Daily and hourly figures use five days and 37.5 hours a week unless you change the working-hours settings. All conversions use 52 paid weeks. Your pay dates and payroll rounding may give different payslip amounts.

How it works

The table applies each tax year’s rules to the same annual salary. NI changes within 2022/23 and 2023/24 are averaged across steady earnings for the year. The figures do not account for inflation.

Comparing the result with your payslip

Check your tax year, country, gross pay and pension method first. A custom tax code, bonus, earlier pay or other income can make your payslip different from an annual estimate.
