Why TakeHomePay?

Free UK salary, tax and savings calculators — built to be honest, sourced and easy to use. No sign-up, no adverts in the way.

✓

Sourced, not guessed

Every rate comes from GOV.UK, HMRC, NHS Employers or the Low Pay Commission, and each page says when it was last checked.

✓

Tested maths

Every calculator is checked against worked examples before it is published — for example, a £40,000 salary with a 5% pension gives £30,719.60 take-home pay.

✓

No made-up numbers

We publish no fake reviews, star ratings, visitor counts or “best” claims. If we do not know something, we say so.

✓

Free, no sign-up

The calculators run entirely in your browser. Nothing you type leaves your device.
