How these figures are worked out
Every figure on this page comes from the same engine as the take-home pay calculator, using 2026/27 rates: a £12,570 personal allowance (tapered above £100,000), the rest-of-UK or Scottish Income Tax bands, and employee Class 1 National Insurance at 8% and 2% on monthly pay. It assumes one job, the standard 1257L tax code and no taxable benefits. A payslip can differ because of payroll rounding, a non-standard tax code or pay that changes month to month.
