About TakeHomePay
TakeHomePay is a small, independent website that answers one simple question: how much of my pay do I actually keep?
Most salary calculators on the internet are either ugly, out of date, or both. We built the calculators we wanted to use ourselves: fast, free, honest about their sources, and checked against worked examples before they are published.
What we do
- Salary calculators — take-home pay, hourly to salary, income tax and compound interest, all for the UK tax year 2026/27.
- Pay guides — the NHS pay rise, the minimum wage, and the rates that decide what you earn.
- Sourced figures — every rate comes from GOV.UK, HMRC, NHS Employers or the Low Pay Commission, and every page says when it was last checked.
What we do not do
- We do not give financial advice. Everything here is general information.
- We do not publish fake reviews, star ratings, visitor counts or “best” claims. If we do not know something, we say so.
- We do not sell your data. The calculators run in your browser and nothing you type leaves your device.
About the author
Mr Salman writes about UK pay, tax and everyday money. He holds an MBA in Finance and has spent years building calculators and guides that answer the questions people actually type into Google — usually at 2am, usually the night before a job interview or a pay review.
“I started TakeHomePay because every pay rise I ever got came with the same question: how much of this do I actually keep? The answer was always buried in tax bands and thresholds nobody explains in plain English. So I built the calculator I wished existed — and then kept going.”
Every figure on this site is checked against GOV.UK, HMRC, NHS Employers or the Low Pay Commission before it is published, and corrected quickly when a rate changes. If you spot a mistake, please tell us — a wrong rate hurts everyone.
