About Us
Our Mission
To help every UK employee understand exactly how salary sacrifice, pension contributions, and tax codes affect their take-home pay — for free, with no signup required.
What We Do
TaxCal UK is a free, independent tool built for UK employees. We provide:
- A detailed salary sacrifice calculator covering income tax, National Insurance, Child Benefit, and student loans
- Plain-English guides on UK tax, PAYE, pension contributions, and take-home pay
- Up-to-date calculations based on the current 2025/26 tax year rules
Why We Built This
Most UK salary calculators are either too simple (ignoring NI, Child Benefit, student loans) or buried inside financial product sales funnels. We wanted a tool that gives you the full picture — with no agenda and no upsell.
Salary sacrifice is one of the most effective ways for UK employees to reduce their tax bill, yet it's widely misunderstood. Our goal is to make it accessible to everyone.
Our Approach
- Accuracy first — we use the official 2025/26 HMRC tax bands, NI thresholds, and Scottish rates
- Privacy by design — all calculations happen in your browser; we never store your salary data
- No financial advice — we provide information and tools, not personalised recommendations
- Free forever — the calculator will always be free to use
