## What is UK Salary Calculator 2026/27?

OVERVIEW:
UK Salary Calculator provides a simple numerical breakdown of your PAYE income, or a comparison of two different salaries. It is intended for use by residents, employers, and job seekers in the United Kingdom.  Also available for MacOS.

FEATURES:
Yearly, monthly, 4-weekly, weekly, daily and hourly breakdown of income tax, national insurance contributions, pension contributions, student loan, employer's national insurance contributions, company car cash allowance, company car tax, fuel benefit charge, child benefit, high income child benefit tax, gross salary, bonus and net salary.  It calculates your overall effective tax rate and your marginal tax rate (the rate at which your next pound of earnings will be taxed at).  The app is also compatible with the Scottish income tax system and accommodates the 6-tier tax rate structure.

It calculates your default tax allowance based on your age & income, and has facilities for adding additional allowances, customising student loan thresholds, adding salary sacrifices, modifying the numbers of days & hours you work, adding in childcare vouchers, custom tax codes & deductions. It automatically reduces your personal allowance if you earn above the £100k income threshold.

UK Salary Calculator is fully reversible, meaning you can either enter your gross salary to see what your pay will be after deductions, or you can enter a net salary that you'd like to be your take home pay and UK Salary Calculator will tell you what you need to earn as a gross wage to make that happen.  This app is therefore perfect for nannies, or individuals who employ a nanny, given their typical net-pay arrangements.  It also caters for auto-enrolment pensions and has a setting to enable the lower/qualifying earnings threshold.

It is useful for employees and employers alike; whether you are looking to check your pay packet to ensure it's right, or to see what your earnings should/could be. It is also useful to see what your take home earnings will be in the next financial year or in another job. All calculations are based on data provided by HMRC and the Student Loan Company.

The company car tax feature allows you to input your car's P11D value & CO2 emissions and the app will automatically calculate the appropriate tax deductions and fuel benefit charge, if required.

Salary sacrifices, allowances, and deductions can be input on a £'s/Year, £'s/Month, £'s/4-Week or £'s/Week basis. Pension can be added as a percentage or an amount.

Results are easily shared and exported via email.

### 3/5 — App is good but an Advertising Banner ad took me to false “your phone is infected” web site

*2026-07-11*

A useful app overall and so no complaints there, but I had a worrying experience with one of the in app ads. A banner ad made it look like my iPhone settings needed attention and so I pressed what I thought was an icon for the app, I was instead redirected to a fake “your iPhone has viruses scam”  page. The app is useful but the advertising needs to be better monitored, as this could easily mislead less experienced users. Until that’s addressed I’d be cautious.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear this. The ads are provided by Google so I will contact them to report this. Users can also report any suspicious adverts. This is not something I’ve had an issue with in 14 years of building this app, so I hope it’s a one off and I apologise for any inconvenience.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2026-05-04*

Lost count how many years I have been using this app but it’s unrivalled. The developer is always open to suggestions about features. Very accurate in the figures it generates. Well worth the £6.99 if anyone reason this is considering it.

**Developer response:** Thanks! Lots more features on their way too! :)

### 5/5 — Superb!

*2025-08-08, version 4.3*

Love the tax system graphic. Excellent app.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2025-06-03, version 4.3*

Too many adds cluttering up the screen and popping up that you can’t close.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2025-05-03*

I was using other app and it stopped working so I migrated to this one. It is fantastic, there is a deviation of £5 compared to what I’m earning, so nothing major… I do recommend it to anyone wanting to know about their salary and the taxes they will be paying. Very good app, congratulations

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2025-02-01, version 4.2*

Easy to use and really helpful

### 4/5 — Great app, very accurate

*2025-01-09*

Overall fantastic and very helpful for working out necessary salary especially pro rata. The only thing I would say which could improve is to allow deductions for both student loan and postgraduate loan together as it only allows you to choose one of the other so you have to do the calculations twice. Other than that it’s a fantastic app

### 5/5 — Superb - the only UK app that does what I need

*2024-10-20*

It’s a rarity I leave any reviews never mind a 5-star review. However this app is excellent, flexible, accurate….it does exactly what I need and I’ve downloaded plenty of apps in this salary/tax category. And the support is second-to-none….its all personally managed and really helpful. Don’t waste your time with any other app - get this one.

### 5/5 — The best by far

*2024-08-17*

This is by far and away the best and most accurate UK salary calculator. I’ve stopped even using online calculators from other providers as I believe this is easily superior. Well worth the pro version, it gives you full control over the intricacies of our complex tax system to give you a true result. Indispensable.

**Developer response:** Thank you Alan.

### 5/5 — Doesn’t retain settings

*2024-04-30, version 4.2*

Whenever I go back to use this I’ve got to re-enter some details.  E.g the fact that I want to use Scottish tax rates and not the default ones.
