Where your annual salary goes
Take-home Income Tax NI
| Component | Annual | Monthly average | Weekly average |
|---|
Average gross, tax and NI are rounded separately, then subtracted. The displayed net may differ by a penny from dividing the annual net directly. These are not weekly or monthly PAYE calculations.
Income Tax bands and Personal Allowance
| Band | Rate | Income in band | Tax |
|---|
Tax is calculated across the bands, then rounded once to pence. Displayed band amounts reconcile to that annual tax total.
Twelve-month NI projection
Annual gross pay is split into twelve amounts that sum exactly. Any remainder pennies go to the first months. Your employer’s actual allocation may differ.
| Month | Gross salary | Employee NI |

How the estimate is calculated
- Personal Allowance. Start with £12,570. Above £100,000 adjusted net income, reduce the allowance by half the excess, round the remaining allowance up to a whole pound, and never below zero.
- Annual Income Tax. Subtract the allowance, then apply the selected jurisdiction’s rates only to the income in each taxable band. Round the annual estimate to the nearest penny, half-pennies up.
- Monthly employee NI. Each projected month uses an 8% rate on earnings above £1,048 up to £4,189 and 2% above £4,189. Round each month’s total to pence, exact half-pennies down, then add the twelve contributions.
- Take-home estimate. Annual gross − annual Income Tax − projected employee NI. Employer NI is not deducted from salary.
Monthly main-rate NI = (main-rate earnings × 8) ÷ 100
Only salary is modeled, so it is the adjusted-net-income input for the allowance here. Reliefs, other income and additional charges require a different model. Tax-code free pay and annualized NI can explain small differences from HMRC’s public estimator.
Frequently asked questions
How much is GBP 35,000 after tax in the UK?
For this 2026–27 example in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, GBP 35,000 gives £4,486.00 annual Income Tax and £1,793.88 projected employee NI, leaving £28,720.12. It assumes one full-year job and none of the excluded deductions. Scottish Income Tax is different.
Does the monthly average match my payslip?
Not necessarily. The tool combines an annual Income Tax estimate with NI on twelve projected monthly payments. Your tax code, payroll history, employer deductions and actual payment amounts can change a payslip. Average figures are rounded components, not a payroll simulation.
Are pensions and student loans included?
No. Pension contributions, salary sacrifice, student and postgraduate loans are outside this version. If any apply, do not confirm the baseline assumptions or use the net figure as your expected pay. HMRC offers an estimator with additional questions.
Why can the result differ from HMRC’s take-home pay estimator?
The HMRC estimator observations use tax-code free pay and annualized NI. This tool uses the annual Personal Allowance and monthly NI thresholds. Those methods can produce small, explained differences; neither is a promise of your exact payslip.
Is this a tax refund calculator?
No. A refund depends on tax already paid and the complete relevant circumstances. A gross salary alone does not establish a refund, a tax-code adjustment or your final tax bill.
