Checked 20 October 2026 against GOV.UK, Rates and thresholds for employers 2026 to 2027, and the Scottish Rate Resolution 2026-27. How we check.
Does not model benefits in kind, two jobs or directors' National Insurance. Monthly figures are the yearly amounts divided by 12. Payslips can differ by a few pounds a year.
These figures are estimates based on the information you entered and the 2026/27 rates and thresholds published by HMRC (and, for Scottish taxpayers, the Scottish Parliament). They are general information, not tax, financial or legal advice. Your actual take-home pay can differ, for example because of your tax code, pension arrangements, benefits, student loan plan or payroll timing. Check your payslip, or ask your employer or HMRC, before relying on these figures.

A yearly salary is the hourly rate × hours a week × 52. That assumes paid holiday, as most employees get. Take-home for common hourly rates.
