Frequently asked questions
How do I work out take-home pay? +
Start from gross pay, deduct PAYE income tax under the current bands, deduct National Insurance, then subtract any pension contributions. The result is net pay.
Does it include pension contributions? +
Auto-enrolment pension contributions are typically deducted from gross pay; adjust for your scheme employee rate.
Why does net pay rise less than gross? +
Higher earnings can move part of your pay into a higher tax band and increase National Insurance, so net pay rises by less than the gross increase.
