Net Salary Calculator UK 2025

The UK uses a PAYE system with a personal allowance (£12,570 in 2025), two income tax bands (20% and 40%), and a higher 45% rate above £125,140. National Insurance contributions add 8% on earnings between £12,570 and £50,270, and 2% above. On a £70k salary, take-home is approximately £47,500 — London's rents, however, consume a large share of that.

  • Income tax: 20% (£12,570–£50,270), 40% (£50,270–£125,140), 45% above — personal allowance tapers above £100k
  • National Insurance: 8% on £12,570–£50,270; 2% above
  • No regional variation — UK income tax is uniform (Scotland has separate rates via SRIT)

Remittance Basis (Non-Domiciled Status)

Non-domiciled UK residents may elect to pay UK tax only on UK-source income and on foreign income remitted to the UK. This has been significantly restricted since April 2025 — the non-dom regime is being phased out and replaced with a 4-year foreign income exemption for new UK tax residents. This calculator covers employment income on normal domicile rules.
