Tronc and tips pay calculator

See how tips could affect your pay, with or without employee NI on the tips.

Before you start: This uses 2026/27 England rates and regular pay, with no pension, loans or other income. Only choose the NI-free option if the independent tronc arrangement qualifies. Income Tax is calculated on combined earnings; separate payroll schemes and pay dates can give different deductions.
