Common questions
Is £25,000 after tax the same everywhere in the UK?
Not always. This page uses England, Wales and Northern Ireland income tax rates. Your take-home pay may be different if you pay Scottish income tax.
Does this include pension contributions?
No. The default calculation does not include pension contributions. If you pay into a workplace pension, your take-home pay may be different. You can include pension contributions in the other settings in the full salary calculator.
Why might my payslip be different from this calculation?
Your payslip can differ because of your tax code, pension contributions, student loan repayments, benefits, bonuses, salary sacrifice, expenses or tax adjustments from earlier months. Use the full calculator to more closely model your actual payslip.
