Assumptions and limitations

Annual estimates use standard annual National Insurance thresholds. Class 2 is not deducted: profits at or above £7,105 are treated as paid, while voluntary Class 2 below that level is optional. This model excludes umbrella margin, Apprenticeship Levy, benefits, capital allowances, VAT schemes, CIS, overseas residence and other specialist circumstances.

This calculator provides estimates based on the selected assumptions and published UK tax rates. It does not determine employment status and is not tax, accounting, legal, or financial advice. Actual liabilities may differ based on your circumstances.
