UK Salary Calculator

Our salary calculator will provide you with an illustration of the costs associated with each employee. You will see the costs to you as an employer, including tax, NI and pension contributions.

We offer you the chance to provide a gross or net salary for your calculations. We strongly recommend you agree to a gross salary, rather than a net salary. This is because should a tax code change for any reason it will mean that you, as the employer, will have to bear any additional costs incurred as the gross amount would need to increase to keep the net the same.

Pensions

It is important to remember that from 1 October 2017 all UK employers are legally required under the Pensions Act 2008 to automatically enrol their workers into a qualifying pension scheme and to contribute to that pension. Your employee may wish to opt-out, but it is your responsibility to enrol all eligible employees. For pension rates see here.
