2026/27, 1257L tax code, no pension or student loan.
How it's worked out
Income tax is charged on salary above the £12,570 personal allowance at 20%, 40% and 45%, with the allowance tapering away above £100,000. National Insurance is 8% between £12,570 and £50,270 and 2% above.
Pension comes off before tax under a net pay arrangement, before tax and National Insurance under salary sacrifice, and from net pay under relief at source, where the provider adds 20% tax relief. Student loans are 9% of pay above your plan's threshold (6% for a Postgraduate Loan).
The calculator assumes the standard 1257L tax code and a salary paid evenly through the year.
Common questions
- How much is £30,000 after tax?
- About £2,093 a month in 2026/27, before any pension or student loan — £30,000 less income tax and National Insurance, on the standard 1257L tax code.
- How much is £40,000 after tax?
- About £2,693 a month in 2026/27 with no pension or student loan. A 5% pension through relief at source takes it down by roughly £133 a month.
- What are the income tax bands this year?
- For 2026/27 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland: no tax on the first £12,570, 20% up to £50,270, 40% up to £125,140 and 45% above. The tax-free allowance shrinks by £1 for every £2 earned over £100,000.
- How much National Insurance will I pay?
- Employees pay 8% on earnings between £12,570 and £50,270 a year, and 2% on everything above that.
- Does this work for Scotland?
- Not yet. Scotland sets its own income tax bands, so a Scottish taxpayer will see a slightly different tax figure. National Insurance is the same across the UK.
- Why is my payslip different?
- Usually a different tax code, overtime or bonuses, benefits in kind, or a pension worked out on qualifying earnings rather than your whole salary. Your payslip is the final word; this is the standard case.
