UK salary after tax: find your take-home pay
Browse 122 salary breakdowns, then compare how a pension, student loan or pay rise changes your result. These are chosen scenarios, not an earnings survey or proof of a particular living standard.

What each salary page helps you compare
- The annual reference estimate and monthly, weekly and daily planning averages.
- A 5% salary-sacrifice contribution versus the same gross contribution under a net-pay pension.
- A Plan 2 loan example, a £1,000 pay rise and a 5% pay rise calculated by comparing full annual results.
- The tax-band or allowance thresholds relevant to that salary, including Personal Allowance withdrawal and separate Child Benefit considerations.
- A Scottish reference and links to the sources behind the assumptions.
These comparisons do not reconstruct a particular payslip, benefit entitlement, household affordability or full Self Assessment return. Check your actual tax code, pension arrangement, loan notice and other income.
