## What is UK Tax Tool 2026?

Reached No.1 in UK Finance Charts on the App Store. Also featured on BBC Radio 4 & Sunday Times.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

"There's a reason for the high review scores posted for this app...it is an extremely well designed and thought out app."

"Brilliant app. Just saved me £160. Email and print give a very clear printed breakdown."

"This app is easy to use...I rarely write app reviews, but this one deserves all the praise it gets..."

"Outstanding - one of the best personal finance apps available."


OVERVIEW

Tax Tool is designed for UK taxpayers in paid employment, using the Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE) system of automatic tax deduction.
 
The app was inspired by the quality of Apple's own apps. It was designed to be comprehensive, but also to be very easy to use and input information, with immediate results.

Choose to enter as much or as little as you want: accuracy is improved if you enter more information and if you enter your Tax Code, but it still gives a useful rough guide if you enter none of these. 

A key feature is that it can perform reverse salary calculations. You can enter your desired take-home pay (what you need to receive, after payroll taxes are deducted, to cover your everyday lifestyle) and Tax Tool will instantly work out the salary needed to achieve that target. You can easily flip between these to work out net pay from gross salary or vice-versa. 

The app also performs UK VAT calculations, and contains a handy reference for UK tax rates, limits and allowances. 

Quick and simple: this is not designed to be a replacement for a full tax return (it doesn’t ask for full details on all your financial affairs), but it does provide a quick and useful estimate of the amount you will receive in your pay packet as an employee.


ADDITIONAL FEATURES

• Instant calculations as you type
• Doesn't need an Internet connection
• Shows a detailed breakdown of the calculations, including Income Tax paid at each band
• Flexible periods: enter and view results annually, monthly, four weekly, fortnightly, weekly, daily or hourly
• Calculates your National Insurance contributions, as well as your employer's
• Includes a VAT calculator, with Reverse function 
• Calculates PAYE tax for tax years 2026/27, 2025/26, all the way back to 2009/10
• Provides an instant rough guide. Enter optional settings to improve accuracy
• Works with iOS 18 & iOS 26.

Optional Settings available:
• Scottish tax (SRIT) - all extra bands from 2018 onwards
• Tax Codes - recognises L, M, N, K, T, P, X, Y, BR, D0, D1, NT, 0T, M1 and W1 codes, plus Scottish S and Welsh C versions
• Contributions to company pensions (as a percentage or fixed amount). Also supports salary sacrifice pensions and contributions taken from net pay

### 1/5 — Not worth 99p

*2024-05-24, version 15.0*

Just want an app I can put my hourly rate of pay for weekdays and weekends and overtime rates for both and my tax code, to check my pay slip. The only one of those five things I can put in is my tax code. Not great, not useful, not worth using.

### 5/5 — Brilliant App

*2024-05-18, version 15.0*

Brilliant app, I've been using it for a few years now.
Im just wondering what happened to the email the calculation button. This was very useful but seems to have disappeared in one of the updates

### 5/5 — Pension Info

*2024-02-25, version 14.2*

Really like this app. It would be great to enter any SIPP contributions (as an £ amount) on top of any pension salary sacrifice (as a %).

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2024-01-19, version 14.2*

Have used this for years.  Its sophisticated accurate and free!  Well done the developer

### 5/5 — This is one of my Editor’s Choice apps

*2023-08-23, version 14.1.1*

Essential if you don’t like the Tax Man getting hold of your hard earned money. By using this app, you can keep track of your adjusted gross salary and not just leave it up to the Payroll gods of your chosen employer!

### 4/5 — Well worth the 89p

*2022-03-29, version 13.0*

Great app.  Plenty of flexibility in the setting to add all pensions, deductions etc.
Gave a an accurate final figure when I made a comparison to my pay slip.  
Also like it gives the overall % of salary deducted.  
Updated with the new Tax / ni deductions with my increased salary in 22/33 .  Well done to the developer.
Clean neat interface.
idiots can use this (me🥰)
presumably will be updated in due course with the increased level when NI needs to paid.
THANKS FOR THIS.
