Try Richify freeHow it works
Take-home pay = salary − income tax − employee National Insurance. Income tax: the personal allowance (£12,570, reduced by £1 for every £2 over £100,000) is tax-free, then 20% on the next £37,700 of taxable income, 40% up to £125,140 and 45% above. National Insurance: 8% on earnings between £12,570 and £50,270, 2% above. Monthly = annual ÷ 12, weekly = annual ÷ 52.
England, Wales and Northern Ireland income tax. Scotland has its own bands (National Insurance is the same). Pension contributions, student loans and benefits in kind are excluded from the main table.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How much is £30,000 after tax in the UK?
£25,120 a year, £2,093 a month or £483 a week in 2026/27: £3,486 income tax and £1,394 National Insurance come off. With a Plan 2 student loan, a further £55 a year is deducted.
England, Wales and Northern Ireland rates; no pension contributions.
How much is £40,000 after tax in the UK?
£32,320 a year, £2,693 a month or £622 a week: £5,486 income tax and £2,194 National Insurance. You keep 80.8% of your salary.
How much is £50,000 after tax in the UK?
£39,520 a year, £3,293 a month: £7,486 income tax and £2,994 National Insurance. £50,000 sits just under the £50,270 higher-rate threshold, so all of it is taxed at 20% above the personal allowance; each pound above £50,270 is taxed at 40% plus 2% National Insurance.
How much is £100,000 after tax in the UK?
£68,557 a year, £5,713 a month. Above £100,000 you lose £1 of personal allowance for every £2 you earn, so between £100,000 and £125,140 you keep only 38.0% of each extra pound: a raise to £110,000 adds just £3,800 to take-home pay.
Pension salary sacrifice below £100,000 avoids it.
Why is my take-home pay different from this table?
The table assumes England, Wales or Northern Ireland income tax, the standard 1257L tax code, no pension contributions, no student loan and no benefits in kind. Workplace pension contributions, a student loan, a different tax code, Scottish income tax bands or salary sacrifice will all change the figure.
Use the take-home pay calculator for your own numbers.
Are the 2026/27 tax bands different from last year?
No. The personal allowance (£12,570) and the higher-rate threshold (£50,270) have been frozen since April 2022 and the freeze runs to April 2031, and employee National Insurance has been 8% since April 2024. So the same salary takes home the same amount as in 2025/26; a pay rise that only matches inflation leaves you paying a bigger share in tax.
