How UK take-home pay is calculated

Your employer deducts tax through PAYE. For 2026/27 the first £12,570 you earn is your tax-free Personal Allowance. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland you then pay 20% on the next £37,700, 40% up to £125,140 and 45% above that.

On top of Income Tax you pay Class 1 National Insurance: 8% on earnings between £12,570 and £50,270, and 2% on everything above.
