Frequently asked questions
How do I work out my salary after tax?
Take your gross salary and subtract Income Tax and National Insurance. The standard Personal Allowance is £12,570, but it is reduced once income exceeds £100,000 and disappears at £125,140. Income is then taxed progressively at 20%, 40% and 45%. National Insurance is 8% on earnings between £12,570 and £50,270, and 2% above. Pick your salary above for the exact figures, or use the take-home calculator to add pension and student loan.
What is the average UK salary after tax?
The latest ONS estimate puts median gross annual earnings for full-time employees at £39,039 (Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings, April 2025). On standard 2026/27 Income Tax and National Insurance assumptions, that is roughly £31,628 a year — about £2,636 a month — after deductions.
Does this include pension and student loan?
No. The figures on these pages are the standard take-home with just Income Tax and National Insurance on a 1257L tax code. Use the full take-home pay calculator to add a pension, a student loan plan, salary sacrifice, or Scottish tax bands.
