Jump to a band, or use your browser's find (Ctrl/⌘+F) to locate a specific salary. All figures use the standard 1257L tax code, rest-of-UK rates, no pension contribution and no student loan — each individual page shows full assumptions and lets you customise.

Entry-level — £18,000–£29,000

Salaries near the personal allowance and through the entry-level full-time band. Take-home runs at high percentages of gross because the £12,570 allowance shields a meaningful share of earnings.

Around the median — £30,000–£49,000

Salaries near and above the UK median full-time wage (~£37,500). All sit within the basic-rate band — Income Tax tops out at 20% and NI at 8% on this range. Most early- and mid-career UK salaries fall here.

Higher-rate band — £50,000–£79,000

From just above the £50,270 higher-rate threshold up to the upper edge of the senior-professional band. The marginal rate on additional earnings is 42% in this range — pension contributions become unusually tax-efficient.

Higher-rate to taper — £80,000–£124,000

Senior professional, director-level and into the personal allowance taper above £100,000. The effective marginal rate hits 62% in the £100k–£125,140 slice. Salary-sacrifice and pension planning dominate the tax conversation here.

Additional-rate band — £125,000–£210,000

Earnings above £125,140 where the additional rate of 45% applies on the slice above the threshold, plus 2% NI. Personal allowance is fully tapered. Pension annual allowance becomes the primary remaining tax-efficient saving vehicle.

How these figures are calculated

Every page is generated from the same Python tax engine that powers our take-home pay calculator, reading published HMRC rates for 2026/27 (and gov.scot rates for Scottish comparisons). When HMRC or the Scottish Government publishes new rates, every page in this library regenerates automatically.

Salaries above £210,000 are generated for completeness but excluded from search indexing because real search demand at that level is sparse and personal tax planning at that income deserves individual advice, not a static page.

For the technical methodology, see our methodology page. For sources and review cycle, see editorial standards.
