These figures are estimates based on 2025/26 HMRC rates. Income tax calculations are approximate — actual PAYE may differ based on cumulative pay, previous employment, and payroll software rounding. Pension calculations use qualifying earnings (£6,240–£50,270). This tool does not constitute financial, tax or legal advice. Always verify with your payroll provider or accountant.
