About the UK Pay Rise Calculator
Use this UK pay rise calculator to estimate how much of a salary increase you will keep after Income Tax and National Insurance for the 2026/27 tax year.
Enter your current annual salary and either your new salary or a pay rise percentage to see the gross increase, extra tax and NI, and estimated extra take-home pay each month and year.
A pay rise is taxed as normal employment income. There is no separate pay rise tax rate — the extra earnings are added to your salary and taxed at your marginal rates.
This calculator is designed for UK employees paid through PAYE in England, Wales and Northern Ireland who want a simple estimate of the real value of a pay rise. It does not include pensions, student loans or other payroll deductions.
