How these figures are worked out
Take-home pay is your salary minus Income Tax and employee National Insurance. For 2026/27 the first £12,570 is tax-free, then Income Tax is 20% up to £50,270 and 40% above it. Employee National Insurance is 8% on earnings between £12,570 and £50,270 and 2% above that. A workplace pension or student loan will reduce these figures.
