## What is PayForge?

PayForge helps you understand what you should be paid.

Whether you work shifts, earn hourly, or receive a fixed salary, PayForge gives you a clear estimate of your gross pay, take-home pay, overtime, deductions, and payslip differences.

Built with UK workers in mind, PayForge helps you check:

* Shift and hourly pay
* Salary pay
* Overtime, night, weekend and bank holiday rates
* UK tax code estimates
* Pension deductions
* National Insurance estimates
* NHS pay bands
* Maternity pay
* Holiday pay
* Payslip / pay stub differences

Use quick calculators for one-off checks, or create job profiles to track your pay over time.

With PayForge Premium, unlock advanced tools including underpayment checks, take-home pay estimates, dashboard customisation, saved calculations, multiple job profiles, and detailed pay breakdowns.

PayForge is designed to help answer one simple question:

“Am I being paid correctly?”

Calculations are estimates only and are not financial, tax, legal, or employment advice.
