Common questions
What does this comparison show?
It puts two salaries side by side with the take-home, Income Tax and National Insurance for each, plus the difference, so you can see what a pay rise or a job offer is really worth after deductions.
Why is the take-home gap smaller than the salary gap?
Because the higher salary is taxed at higher marginal rates, the difference in take-home is always smaller than the difference in gross, and it shrinks sharply across the £50,270 and £100,000 thresholds.
Can I compare a job in Scotland with one elsewhere?
Yes. Set the region for each salary to compare the Scottish Income Tax bands against the rest of the UK, which matters most above £43,662.
