๐ฌ๐ง United Kingdom
The UK uses the PAYE (Pay As You Earn) system, administered by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). Income Tax and National Insurance are the two main deductions from your gross salary. Scotland has its own separate income tax bands, set by the Scottish Parliament.
Our UK calculators are the most detailed on this site โ they use the official 2025/26 tax bands and include Scotland-specific rates.
