How the UK Budget Calculator Works

The UK Budget Calculator estimates your take-home pay by applying the following deductions to your gross salary:

• Income Tax: Calculated based on your tax code and the progressive tax bands for 2014/15.
• National Insurance: Employee contributions calculated at the standard rates for 2014/15.
• Student Loan Repayments: If applicable, based on your gross salary and student loan plan.

The calculator uses the tax rates and bands that were in effect for the 2014/15 tax year. These rates are different from those in current years.

Example Calculation

Let's say you earn £30,000 gross per year and your tax code is 1250L (which means you're a basic rate taxpayer with a personal allowance of £10,600).

Using the calculator:

1. Enter £30,000 as your gross salary.
2. Select "1250L" from the tax code dropdown.
3. Click "Calculate".

The calculator will show you that your estimated take-home pay is £20,500, with £4,500 paid in income tax and £1,000 in national insurance.
