How salary after tax is calculated
Take-home pay is gross salary minus deductions. For most employees, the two largest deductions are Income Tax and Class 1 employee National Insurance. Income Tax is progressive: each rate applies only to the part of your taxable income within that band, rather than to your whole salary.
In 2026/27, the standard Personal Allowance is £12,570. For England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the basic 20% rate then applies across the £37,700 basic-rate band, taking the usual higher-rate threshold to £50,270. The 40% higher rate applies above that point and the 45% additional rate starts above £125,140. The Personal Allowance is reduced by £1 for every £2 of adjusted net income over £100,000, so it is fully withdrawn at £125,140.
Employee National Insurance is estimated at 8% on earnings between £12,570 and £50,270, then 2% above £50,270. Your payslip can differ because payroll works by pay period and applies your actual tax code, benefits and deductions. Use the table for comparison, then open a salary to adjust the calculation.
