How this uk tax calculator works

We apply the 2025/26 personal allowance of £12,570, tapering by £1 for every £2 you earn over £100,000.

Taxable income is split across the basic (20%), higher (40%) and additional (45%) rate bands.

Class 1 employee National Insurance is 8% between £12,570 and £50,270, then 2% above that.

Rates apply to England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Scotland has its own income tax bands.

Income tax = 20% basic + 40% higher + 45% additional, after a £12,570 personal allowance.
