Take-home pay 2026/27
Your salary after income tax, National Insurance, student loan and pension salary sacrifice, a year and a month. Scotland included.
Work out my take-home payHonestSums makes plain spreadsheets for the money decisions most of us face a few times in life: taking a new job, overpaying a mortgage, buying a rental, paying for childcare, keeping a side hustle straight with HMRC. Each one follows the published GOV.UK rules, says when those rules were checked, and shows its working.
The three calculators below are free, quick versions of the spreadsheets. They run in your browser, so nothing you type is sent anywhere. When you want the full picture, with what-ifs and a Checks tab that proves the figures against worked examples, the spreadsheets are a small one-off download that works in Excel and Google Sheets.
