Your report is ready

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

Divide the full-time annual salary by full-time weekly hours, then multiply by your hours. The calculator works out tax on that reduced gross salary. Cutting full-time take-home pay by the same percentage would give a different result.

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.
