Assumptions in this estimate
- Take-home pay assumes a single person with no pension, retirement or other pre-tax deductions.
- Assumes the standard 1257L tax code and a full year in the same job.
- National Insurance is worked out for each pay period; this estimate works it out for the year, which can differ by a few pounds.
- Pension contributions are a percentage of your full salary; some workplace schemes use qualifying earnings (£6,240 to £50,270) instead.
- Marriage Allowance, Blind Person’s Allowance and the High Income Child Benefit Charge are not included.
- You can choose one undergraduate student loan plan (plus a postgraduate loan). With more than one plan, you repay 9% of earnings above the lowest threshold.
- Above £100,000 the figures are your yearly tax bill with the Personal Allowance reduced; on a 1257L code your payslips may take less until HMRC updates your code.
