This page is designed to give a fast, readable estimate without replacing a payslip or payroll system.
Always confirm important figures with your employer, payroll provider, accountant, or tax authority.
Methodology
The salary is annualized and compared against the personal allowance and PAYE tax bands.
Employee National Insurance is estimated using category A thresholds.
The final net figure is converted back into monthly, weekly, and annual views.
Assumptions
The United Kingdom calculator annualizes pay first, applies the relevant tax rules, and then converts the result back to the selected pay frequency.
Recurring deductions are estimated on a per-pay-period basis.
TakeHome Grid provides estimates for informational purposes only and does not replace a payslip or employer payroll system.
Income tax thresholds reflect GOV.UK rates and allowances updated on April 6, 2026.
Employee National Insurance reflects category A rates and thresholds for 2026 to 2027 from HMRC employer guidance.
Worked example
UK example
Gross pay: GBP 4,200 monthly
