What it calculates

For 2026/27 tax year:

• Income tax: 0% / 20% / 40% / 45% on rUK bands; Scottish 19/20/21/42/45/48% bands
• Employee National Insurance: 8% on £12,570–£50,270, 2% above
• Workplace pension: standard 5% employee + 3% employer + tax relief
• Student loan repayments: Plans 1, 2, 4, 5 + Postgraduate
• Salary sacrifice: pension, EV, cycle-to-work
• The 60% tax trap: £100k–£125,140 personal allowance taper

All calculations follow the official 2026/27 UK statutory rates published by HMRC and DWP, mirrored in our open dataset at joblabs.ai/data/uk-statutory-rates-2026-27/ (CC BY 4.0).
