How the payslip calculator works
This calculator estimates take-home pay from a gross salary, showing the income tax and Class 1 National Insurance deducted for the current tax year. It is useful for checking a payslip, planning a budget, or understanding an offer before you accept it.
Actual payslips can also include pension contributions, student loan repayments, benefits in kind and other adjustments, so use this as a guide. If your payroll looks wrong, our payroll team can review it.
Frequently asked
What is deducted from my gross pay?+
Typically income tax (PAYE), Class 1 National Insurance and — if applicable — pension contributions and student loan repayments. This tool covers income tax and NI.
My payslip does not match — what should I do?+
Check your tax code first, as an incorrect code is the most common cause. If it still looks wrong, we can review your payroll and liaise with HMRC.
