This is a reference table of UK take-home pay for the 2026/27 tax year (6 April 2026 – 5 April 2027) at every salary from £18,000 to £100,000, in £1,000 steps — 83 salary levels in all. For each one you get yearly, monthly and weekly net pay, income tax, employee National Insurance, and the share of gross pay you actually keep.
Quick facts you can quote:

- Above £50,270, every extra £1,000 adds £580 (40% tax + 2% NI leaves 58p per £1).
- A £35,000 salary takes home £28,720 a year — £2,393 a month.
- Doubling a salary from £50,000 to £100,000 raises take-home by 73%, not 100% — from £39,520 to £68,557.

The 2026/27 rates behind these figures
England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each rate applies only to the slice of income inside its band.
| Band | Annual income | Rate on this slice |
|---|---|---|
| Personal Allowance | Up to £12,570 | 0% |
| Basic rate | £12,571 – £50,270 | 20% tax + 8% NI |
| Higher rate | £50,271 – £125,140 | 40% tax + 2% NI |
| Additional rate | Over £125,140 | 45% tax + 2% NI |
Assumptions and method
All figures assume a standard 1257L tax code, England, Wales or Northern Ireland income tax rates, and Class 1 employee National Insurance (8% between £12,570 and £50,270, 2% above). They exclude pension contributions, student loan repayments, bonuses and benefits in kind — each of those changes the result, and all of them (plus Scottish rates) are handled by our free salary calculator. Monthly and weekly figures are the annual figure divided by 12 and 52. Rounded to the nearest pound.
