Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about UK tax, National Insurance and our calculators

Are these calculations accurate?
Our calculators use the official 2026/27 HMRC tax rates, National Insurance thresholds, and student loan repayment thresholds. Results are accurate for standard tax codes (e.g., 1257L) but individual circumstances may vary. Always verify with HMRC or a qualified accountant.
What tax year do these calculators use?
All calculations use the 2026/27 tax year rates, which run from 6 April 2026 to 5 April 2027. We update our rates within 48 hours of any HMRC budget announcement.
Is my data stored or shared?
No. All calculations run entirely in your browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit your salary, tax code, or any personal information. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
What is tax code 1257L?
1257L is the standard tax code for 2026/27. It means you get the full personal allowance of £12,570 before paying income tax. The 'L' indicates you’re entitled to the standard tax-free amount.
How is National Insurance calculated?
For 2026/27, employees pay 8% on earnings between £12,570 and £50,270, and 2% on earnings above £50,270. These rates apply to Class 1 NI contributions deducted through PAYE.
Can I use this for self-employed or contractor calculations?
Our calculators are designed for PAYE employees. Self-employed tax works differently (Class 2 and 4 NI, payments on account). We recommend consulting an accountant for self-assessment calculations.
