Frequently asked questions
Your gross salary is reduced by income tax, employee National Insurance, and any student loan repayment. Income tax applies the Personal Allowance of 12,570 GBP, then 20% to 50,270 GBP, 40% to 125,140 GBP, and 45% above (different bands apply in Scotland). National Insurance is 8% on earnings between 12,570 and 50,270 GBP and 2% above. What is left is your take-home pay.
Scotland sets its own income tax bands for earned income. For 2025/26 there are six rates: a 19% starter rate, 20% basic, 21% intermediate, 42% higher, 45% advanced, and a 48% top rate. Choose Scotland in the calculator to apply them. National Insurance is the same across the whole UK.
Once your income passes 100,000 GBP, your Personal Allowance is reduced by 1 GBP for every 2 GBP of income above that, and it disappears entirely at 125,140 GBP. Losing the allowance means a slice of income between 100,000 and 125,140 GBP is effectively taxed at around 60%. The calculator applies this taper automatically.
Plan 1, Plan 2, Plan 4 (Scotland), and Plan 5 all repay 9% of income above their threshold, and the Postgraduate Loan repays 6%. Choose your plan to add the repayment to your deductions. The 2025/26 thresholds range from 21,000 GBP for the Postgraduate Loan to 32,745 GBP for Plan 4.
No, it is an estimate. It assumes a standard tax code with the full Personal Allowance and no pension salary sacrifice, benefits in kind, or other income. Your payslip may differ. Not tax advice.
This calculator applies the official 2025/26 HMRC rates to turn a gross salary into your take-home pay per month and per year. It breaks out income tax, employee National Insurance, any student loan repayment, your total deductions, the Personal Allowance, and your effective rate.
Unlike basic take-home tools, it includes a region toggle for the full Scottish income tax bands, the 100k Personal Allowance taper, and all five student loan plans. Everything runs in your browser; no data is sent to any server. It is an estimate and not tax advice.
