Effective period: 6 April 2026 to 5 April 2027
The calculator uses the 2026/27 Personal Allowance, Income Tax bands, Class 1 employee National Insurance thresholds, and student-loan repayment thresholds currently baked into the salary engine.
England, Wales, and Northern Ireland
England, Wales, and Northern Ireland share the same non-savings employment Income Tax bands in this calculator. National Insurance is calculated separately using UK-wide Class 1 employee thresholds and rates.
Scotland
Scotland uses its own starter, basic, intermediate, higher, advanced, and top Income Tax bands for employment income. National Insurance is still applied on the UK-wide basis.
Student loans
Student loan deductions use the selected Plan 1, Plan 2, Plan 4, Plan 5, and/or Postgraduate thresholds and rates from the same GOV.UK employer-threshold source as the rest of the payroll data.
