UK Salary Calc

Salary Calc works out your real UK take-home pay — and, unlike most calculators, it can read your payslip to do it. Open the app and there's one input: your salary. A live take-home figure sits underneath it, per year with the monthly equivalent, updating as you type or drag the slider. Everything else that changes the number is something you add only when it applies to you. No checkboxes to un-tick, no fields you have to know to ignore. Scan your payslip Point your camera at a payslip, or pick a photo from your library, and the app reads it on device — your basic pay, tax code, and pension contribution, with salary sacrifice detected from the wording. You confirm what it found before anything is applied. Nothing is ever uploaded. Built around salary sacrifice Pension can be modelled as salary sacrifice or relief at source. Benefits — car, medical, gym — can be sacrifice or a net deduction, each with a "true cost to you" figure showing what it really costs after tax. The £100k personal-allowance taper, the "60% trap", is modelled exactly. Add only what you need Pension, bonus or commission, benefits, student loan (Plans 1, 2, 4, 5 and the Postgraduate Loan), tax code and year. Drivers are removable, and their values are kept underneath — re-add one and it's all still there. Accurate where it counts Numeric, flat-rate, no-tax and negative-allowance K tax codes. M1/W1 non-cumulative handling. National Insurance across all bands. Tax years from 2023/24 to 2026/27. Switch between annual and monthly views, pick the month, and fold a bonus into it with the correct cumulative maths. Compare scenarios Save profiles — current job, new offer, more pension — and switch between them. Or freeze your current position as a baseline and watch how a change to salary, pension or benefits moves your take-home, PAYE, NI and pension, line by line. Private by design Every calculation and every payslip scan happens on your device. No payslip image, salary, or input is ever uploaded. The only network request is the optional list of other Indy.inc apps, which sends nothing about you.
