Required salary calculator 2026/27

Work backwards: tell us the monthly take-home pay you need, and we work out the gross salary that produces it after income tax and National Insurance for the 2026/27 tax year.

Your target

2026/27 rates, no pension, no student loan. The answer is the gross salary whose take-home is closest to your target — with a stepped tax system the exact match may sit between two whole salaries.
