• Estimating income tax on a given salary.
• Working out roughly how much of a raise you will actually keep.
• Comparing take-home pay across income levels.

Tax Calculator: limits and things worth knowing

• Income tax is banded almost everywhere, so a higher rate applies only to the income above each threshold. Moving into a higher band never reduces total take-home pay, despite the persistent belief that it can.
• The marginal rate applies to your next pound and the effective rate to your whole income, and they are always different in a banded system. A raise is taxed at the marginal rate.
• Rates, thresholds and allowances change annually and differ by country and often by region. Verify against the current official figures before relying on any estimate.
• This is an estimate only. Allowances, reliefs, pension contributions and local taxes all change the outcome, and none is modelled fully.

Is it private and secure?

Your privacy is built in. Tax Calculator runs completely on your device, so whatever you enter stays in your browser and is never transmitted, logged or stored on any server.

Network activity: none. Nothing is sent and nothing is fetched. This tool makes no network request at all once the page has loaded — which is why it keeps working if your connection drops.

You do not have to take that on trust — our privacy proof page publishes the Content-Security-Policy that enforces it, lists every third party it permits, and shows how to verify the whole claim yourself.
