Assumptions
Calculation notes
- Uses simplified 2026/27 tax, NI, and student-loan thresholds.
- Monthly cash allowances are treated as taxable salary for income tax, employee NI, and student-loan repayment.
- Annual benefit values are treated as taxable benefits for income tax only. They are not added to take-home cash, employee NI, or student-loan repayment in this simplified model.
- Benefit tax is shown as if spread across the year. Actual treatment may be through payroll, tax code adjustment, or P11D reporting depending on the employer and tax year.
- Does not include tax-code adjustments beyond taxable benefits, bonus timing, childcare vouchers, marriage allowance, blind person's allowance, employer Class 1A NI, or payroll rounding.
- Use payroll software or HMRC tools for exact payslip calculations.
Payslip logic
From gross package to take-home pay
This calculator is about the route from headline earnings to spendable pay, including the deductions that most often explain the gap.
Tax route
Cash salary, taxable monthly allowances and annual P11D-style benefits are combined into the taxable employment scenario, while pension contributions reduce taxable pay where the selected pension mode allows it.
The calculator applies the selected UK tax year, region, personal allowance taper, Income Tax bands, National Insurance bands and student-loan plan before showing annual, monthly and deduction totals.
Payroll pathgross cash pay + taxable benefits - pension adjustment -> taxable pay -> Income Tax, NI and student-loan deductions -> estimated take-home pay
Package example
Example: salary plus allowance
- Annual salary: GBP 45,000
- Monthly car allowance: GBP 300
- Pension: 5%
- Tax region: England, Wales or Northern Ireland
Result: The allowance is treated like salary for tax and National Insurance, while pension and student-loan settings change the final net pay.
This makes it easier to compare a headline package with what actually arrives in monthly pay.
What to look at on the result
- Use the deduction percentage to understand how much of a raise, allowance or benefit is lost to tax, NI, student loan or pension.
- If the result is near a threshold, rerun the calculation with salary sacrifice or pension changes to see whether the take-home trade-off is acceptable.
