UK Salaries After Tax

Take home pay breakdowns for every salary from £15,000 to £500,000 — income tax, National Insurance and what actually lands in your account.

Each page below shows the full deduction breakdown for one salary: income tax by band, employee National Insurance, and yearly, monthly, weekly and daily take home pay. Figures are calculated on 2025/26 rates and thresholds (thresholds frozen to 2028), so they apply unchanged for 2026/27. Pages from £100,000 upwards also cover the personal allowance taper — the 62% effective marginal zone between £100,000 and £125,140 — and pages above £125,140 cover the 45% additional rate, the 47% marginal cost of every extra pound, and the pension annual allowance taper for the highest earners. If you’d rather model student loans, pension contributions or a bespoke salary, use the full calculator.
