Frequently asked questions
What is the take-home pay on a £35,000 salary in 2026/27?
About £28,720 a year (£2,393 a month) in England, Wales or Northern Ireland with no pension or student loan: income tax is 20% of the £22,430 above the £12,570 personal allowance (£4,486) and National Insurance is 8% of the same band (£1,794.40), leaving £28,719.60.
What deductions come out of my salary?
Income tax (20% basic, 40% above £50,270, 45% above £125,140, with the £12,570 personal allowance tapering away above £100,000), employee Class 1 National Insurance (8% between £12,570 and £50,270, 2% above), student loan repayments if you have one, and your own pension contributions.
What are the student loan thresholds for 2026/27?
Plan 1: £26,900; Plan 2: £29,385; Plan 4 (Scotland): £33,795; Plan 5: £25,000 — all repaid at 9% of earnings above the threshold. Postgraduate Loans are repaid at 6% above £21,000, on top of any undergraduate plan.
Does salary sacrifice increase my take-home pay?
Compared with making the same pension contribution from net pay, yes. Salary sacrifice reduces your contractual pay before income tax, National Insurance and student loan deductions are calculated, so a basic-rate taxpayer saves 28p (plus any 9% student loan) per £1 contributed, versus 20p with an ordinary net-pay workplace pension.
Is this calculator accurate for Scotland?
Not for income tax — Scotland sets its own bands and rates (19% to 48% in 2026/27), so Scottish taxpayers should use our Scottish income tax calculator. National Insurance and student loan deductions shown here are the same across the whole UK.
