## What is SalarySnap?

SalarySnap is a UK salary calculator designed for clarity. Enter your gross salary and instantly see what you actually take home after income tax, National Insurance, pension, and student loan deductions — broken down by year, month, week, and day.

Built for every UK region with full support for England, Wales, Scotland's six-tier tax bands, and Northern Ireland. Updated with HMRC 2026/27 rates.

CALCULATE
- Gross-to-net and net-to-gross calculation
- All five student loan repayment plans
- Salary sacrifice and auto-enrolment pension
- Custom HMRC tax code support
- Personal Allowance tapering above £100,000
- Marginal rate analysis: see the exact rate on your next pound earned

SMART ALERTS
SalarySnap flags tax traps and benefit clawbacks that other calculators miss:
- £100k tax trap: the hidden 60%+ marginal rate zone between £100k and £125k
- Fiscal drag: shows how frozen thresholds quietly cost you more each year
- Child Benefit clawback: calculates your exact HICBC charge
- Childcare entitlement risk: warns when you're about to lose 30 Hours Free Childcare or Tax-Free Childcare

COMPARE JOB OFFERS
Don't compare headline salaries — compare what you actually take home. Side-by-side breakdown with independent bonus, employer pension match, tax region, and student loan plan for each offer.

STRATEGISE
Six tools to help you keep more of what you earn:

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-08-28

This update is about accuracy. The payday countdown now understands bank holidays, and Payslip Audit is much more careful about what it flags.

Payday:

• The payday countdown now skips bank holidays as well as weekends, so a last-working-day payday lands on the right date
• Separate bank holiday calendars for England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, so St Patrick's Day, the Battle of the Boyne and Scotland's own dates are all accounted for
• Choose your nation in Settings under Payday, or let SalarySnap follow your tax region
• Bank holidays are worked out on your device from the official rules, so future years are covered and nothing leaves your phone
• Fixed the widget saying "3 days to payday" on a Friday that was actually payday, because the Monday after it was a bank holiday
• The payday widget now celebrates with "Payday!" on the day itself instead of counting down to zero

Payslip Audit, with far fewer false alarms:

• Deductions are now matched against real payslip labels, so a health insurance premium is no longer read as National Insurance
• Anything SalarySnap does not recognise is treated as another deduction instead of being forced into a tax category
• Expected income tax now uses the tax code printed on your payslip, including 0T, BR, D0, D1 and K codes and their W1/M1/X variants
• The tax code in your settings is used only as a clearly labelled assumption, and only when your payslip does not show one
• Your pension contribution is confirmed against your payslip rather than compared to a default rate, so paying in more than the default is no longer flagged as a problem
• Every line now shows how confident SalarySnap is (verified, assumed or not verified), and only verified lines count towards the headline result
• An "overpaying £X a year" figure now appears only when it was worked out from figures read off your payslip
• When neither tax nor National Insurance can be verified, SalarySnap says so rather than implying your payslip looks correct
• Better at reading the tax code and pay period from a photographed payslip

Plus:

• A new app icon that adapts to light mode, dark mode and tinted Home Screens
• Pick a different app icon in Settings under Appearance if you prefer a fixed light or dark look
• Stability improvements and minor fixes throughout

### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-27

This update makes SalarySnap's numbers even more trustworthy:

• Fixed the widget not appearing for users on iOS 26.2 and 26.3
• Compare tab bonus figures now use the correct National Insurance basis for net pay and relief-at-source pensions
• Fiscal Drag and the £100k threshold tips now agree with the calculation engine for relief-at-source pensions
• Take-Home to Salary mode now converges correctly with high pension percentages and Marriage Allowance
• Salary fields now handle European keyboard decimal separators correctly
• Pension percentages are validated so typos cannot produce impossible results
• Blind Person's Allowance now uses the correct historical value in each tax year
• Cost of Living council tax figures corrected against official 2025/26 Band D rates
• Salary percentile claims now stay strictly within published ONS data
• Refined sheet styling and light mode contrast throughout

And in case you missed it in 1.1: Payslip Audit lets you scan, photograph or type in your payslip and checks every deduction against HMRC rules, entirely on your device.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-18

Bug fixes and general enhancements

### 1.0.2 — 2026-04-24

What's new in 1.0.2:

• Extended free trial. You now get 14 days of full Pro access to explore every tool before deciding.

• Strategise tools redesigned. Locked tools are no longer hidden behind a blur. You can now see exactly what each tool does, with a clear description of its benefits before upgrading.

• Smarter upgrade flow. Tapping a locked tool shows you what it does and takes you straight to plan options. Annual plan now featured as the default for an easier entry point.

• Trial banner fix. The "days left" banner no longer overlaps the Take-Home Pay header on the Calculate screen.

• Stability & polish. Fixed a potential crash in the celebration animation, improved VoiceOver support for the share button and onboarding screens, and general reliability improvements.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-04-18

This release updates SalarySnap for the 2026/27 UK tax year and refines the App Store presentation. The underlying calculations, features, and privacy model are unchanged.
