How the salary after tax figures are worked out
Each page in this list takes one salary, from £15,000 to £150,000 in steps of £1,000, and works it through the 2026/27 rates for income tax and National Insurance that HMRC publishes. The headline figures assume the standard tax code 1257L, no student loan and no pension, which is how most salary tables online are set out.
The working is the same at every salary. The first £12,570 is the personal allowance and is not taxed. Income above it is taxed at 20% up to £50,270, at 40% above that and at 45% over £125,140. Above £100,000 the allowance shrinks by £1 for every £2 of income. National Insurance is 8% of pay between £12,570 and £50,270 and 2% of pay above that.
Every page also shows the take home with a pension of 5% of qualifying earnings (£6,240 to £50,270), relief at source and with the Scottish bands, compares the result with 2025/26, when the Scottish starter rate and basic rate bands were narrower, and links to the calculators with the salary filled in. For £30,000, for example, the take home is £25,119.60 a year.
Figures cover a full tax year on a steady salary, divided into months, weeks and days. A payslip works pay period by pay period, so it can differ by a few pounds over the year.
