How your take-home pay is worked out

Your gross salary is reduced by a few separate deductions before it reaches your bank account. Here is what each one means in the 2026/27 tax year.

1️⃣

Personal Allowance

The first £12,570 you earn is tax-free. This allowance shrinks by £1 for every £2 you earn over £100,000 and disappears at £125,140.

2️⃣

Income Tax

Earnings above the allowance are taxed at 20% up to £50,270, 40% up to £125,140, then 45%.

3️⃣

National Insurance

Class 1 NI is 8% on pay between £12,570 and £50,270, and 2% on anything above that.

4️⃣

Pension & student loan

Pension contributions cut your taxable pay, while student loans take 9% (or 6% postgraduate) above your plan’s threshold.

2026/27 Income Tax & National Insurance rates

These are the rates the calculator above applies for employees in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Scotland sets its own income tax bands but uses the same National Insurance thresholds.

BandTaxable incomeRate

Quick answer: A £35,000 salary in 2026/27 gives a take-home of about £28,720 a year — roughly £2,393 a month — after £4,486 Income Tax and £1,794 National Insurance, assuming no pension or student loan.

Take-home pay questions, answered

How much is take-home pay on a £30,000 salary in the UK?

On a £30,000 salary in 2026/27 you pay around £3,486 Income Tax and £1,394 National Insurance, leaving roughly £25,120 net — about £2,093 a month — before any pension or student loan deductions. Add a pension contribution above and your monthly figure drops, but your taxable income falls too.

What is the tax-free Personal Allowance for 2026/27?

The standard Personal Allowance is £12,570 and remains frozen for 2026/27. If you earn more than £100,000 it tapers away by £1 for every £2 of income above that level, and is gone entirely once you reach £125,140.

How is National Insurance calculated in 2026/27?

Employees pay Class 1 National Insurance at 8% on earnings between £12,570 and £50,270, and 2% on everything above £50,270. There is no NI on the first £12,570.

Does the calculator include student loan repayments?

Yes. Choose Plan 1, Plan 2, Plan 4, Plan 5 or a Postgraduate Loan and we deduct 9% (or 6% for postgraduate) of income above the relevant repayment threshold — for example £29,385 on Plan 2.

Is this the same as my payslip?

It’s a close estimate. Your actual payslip can vary because of your specific tax code, salary-sacrifice schemes, taxable benefits, or being paid weekly rather than monthly. For an official figure, use the GOV.UK Income Tax estimator.

Does this work for Scotland?

This calculator uses the rest-of-UK (England, Wales and Northern Ireland) income tax bands. Scotland has its own bands and rates set by the Scottish Government, although National Insurance and the Personal Allowance are the same UK-wide.
