Income Tax is not National Insurance
Income Tax is calculated from taxable income and tax bands. National Insurance is a separate employee contribution with its own thresholds and rates; the results show each deduction independently.
How the estimate is calculated
The calculator uses your tax code allowance and the supported 2026/27 regional bands. Pension contributions entered here reduce pay before Income Tax in this estimate.
When can the result differ?
A different tax code, Scottish residence, pension arrangements or deductions not supported by this calculator can change an actual payslip. This is an estimate rather than tax advice.
