UK Money Calculators — 2026/27

The UKCalc money hub covers every major personal finance calculation you'll need as a UK taxpayer or resident. All 20 calculators are updated at the start of each tax year to reflect the latest HMRC rates, and linked to 20 in-depth guides that explain the underlying rules in plain English.

Income tax and take-home pay

The most searched UK finance question is "how much is £X after tax?" Our take-home pay calculator handles any gross salary with pension contributions, student loan deductions and self-employment. For common salary amounts, use the quick-reference salary grid above. To understand how your income splits across tax bands, read how UK income tax works.

Mortgages and property

Buying a home involves calculations most people get wrong: how much stamp duty is owed, and how much a lender will actually offer. Our stamp duty calculator uses 2026/27 SDLT rates. The mortgage affordability calculator uses standard lender income multiples. Read how much mortgage you can afford for a full explanation of lender criteria.

Savings, ISAs and investing

The ISA annual allowance for 2026/27 is £20,000. All growth within an ISA is free from income tax and capital gains tax. See ISA vs savings account to understand when a cash ISA beats a regular savings account, and use the compound interest calculator to see how growth accumulates over time.

Debt and credit

The fastest way to improve your finances is often clearing high-interest debt. A credit card at 24.9% APR costs more in interest than any savings account earns. See whether to overpay debt or save, and use the loan repayment calculator to model overpayment savings.

Pensions

The pension annual allowance for 2026/27 is £60,000 (or 100% of earnings, whichever is lower). All contributions receive tax relief at your marginal rate. Employer contributions under auto-enrolment are free money — capturing the full employer match is almost always the right financial decision before any other savings or investment. Use the pension calculator to project your retirement pot.

Frequently Asked Questions

The 2026/27 income tax bands for England, Wales and Northern Ireland: Personal Allowance — £0 to £12,570 at 0%; Basic Rate — £12,571 to £50,270 at 20%; Higher Rate — £50,271 to £125,140 at 40%; Additional Rate — above £125,140 at 45%.
The personal allowance for 2026/27 is £12,570. You pay no income tax on earnings below this threshold. For incomes above £100,000, the allowance is reduced by £1 for every £2 earned over that threshold, reaching zero at £125,140.
First-time buyers pay no SDLT on the first £425,000 of a property's value, then 5% on the portion from £425,001 to £625,000. If the purchase price exceeds £625,000, first-time buyer relief does not apply and standard rates are used from £0.
Pension contributions attract tax relief at your marginal rate. Basic-rate taxpayers get 20% relief — a £100 pension contribution costs £80 net. Higher-rate taxpayers get 40% total relief — a £100 contribution costs £60 net (the additional 20% is claimed via self-assessment). Contributions via salary sacrifice also reduce National Insurance, saving a further 8% (basic rate) or 2% (higher rate).
Income tax figures are for England, Wales and Northern Ireland only. Scotland has different income tax bands set by the Scottish Parliament. NI calculations apply across the whole UK. For Scottish income tax, refer to the Scottish Government's published rates.
