How these calculators work

Every calculator on this page uses the same open tax-engine.js — unminified, viewable in any browser. The Python engine that builds our static salary pages reads from the same configuration, so a calculator you use here matches what you see on a salary page. Figures are 2026/27 unless you change tax year on the specific calculator.

Our calculation rules and sources are in the methodology. We update after each Budget, after the Scottish Budget, and on 6 April when a new tax year starts.
