Terms and disclaimer

TakeHomeFigures provides estimated UK take-home pay figures for tax year 2026/27, based on the assumptions and inputs shown on each page. By using the site you accept these limits.

Estimates, not a payslip

The calculator does not reproduce an exact PAYE payslip. Where a weekly or monthly estimate is shown, Income Tax in that figure is an estimated annual-tax equivalent (the annual liability taken to the nearest penny for one period), not PAYE withholding. Category A employee National Insurance, a selected Student Loan and a selected pension use the pay period and rules described on the page. Repeating a rounded period amount does not always equal the annual liability. Payroll software, tax codes, benefits, other income and timing can change a real payslip.

Supported scope and limitations

Supported features and exclusions are stated on the calculator and related pages. In summary, the live tool is limited to the verified Option A scope: standard region codes such as 1257L / C1257L / S1257L as annual estimates while the full Personal Allowance applies; Category A employee National Insurance for one weekly or monthly period; Student Loan and pension only when you select them; and the assumptions written beside each result. Other National Insurance categories, emergency and many non-standard tax codes, directors’ rules, irregular pay periods and features that are marked unavailable are not calculated.

No HMRC affiliation and no personal advice

TakeHomeFigures is an independent website. It is not affiliated with HMRC and it is not an HMRC service. The figures are not personalised tax or financial advice. Check official guidance and your own coding notice before you rely on a number.

No professional certification claimed

The Product Owner has approved the Option A calculation rules and release fixtures with documented limitations. That is not the same as independent certification by an accountant or UK payroll specialist. No such specialist endorsement is claimed on this site.

Official sources and methodology

How the estimates are produced is described on the Calculation methodology page. Official GOV.UK and related references are listed under Official sources. Privacy information is on the Privacy page. Contact details are on the Contact page.
