About the UK Salary Comparison Calculator
Use this salary comparison calculator to compare two UK salaries after Income Tax and National Insurance for the 2026/27 tax year.
Enter two annual salaries, for example a current role and a job offer, to see the difference in tax, NI and take-home pay each month and year.
A higher gross salary does not always mean the same increase in net pay. Moving into a higher tax band, or past National Insurance thresholds, can mean you keep less of the extra salary than the headline figure suggests.
This tool is for employed PAYE salaries only. For a single salary breakdown, use the Income Tax Calculator. To model a rise on one salary, try the Pay Rise Calculator.
