United Kingdom take-home pay calculator
Start from the take-home you want or the gross you have. Every line is the engine's answer on the rules in force, never an estimate typed into a blog.

Gross 4,500.00
Deductions 1,009.56
Take-home 3,490.44
Employer cost, on top 612.45
| Basic salary | 4,500.00 |
|---|---|
| National Insurance | 257.50 |
| PAYE, graduated bands | 752.06 |
| What the employer pays on top | |
| National Insurance, employer | 612.45 |
Figures per month. Tax code: 1257L · Age: 30
Why these assumptions
- Tax code. The standard personal allowance code. A K-code or BR reader should enter their own.
- Age. Drives age-banded rules where they exist (Singapore CPF rates, Dutch AOW status); everywhere else it changes nothing.
Computed by the same engine that runs production payroll, on the rules in force 2026-08-31. Rates are checked against the statutory authority and countersigned before they can price anything.
