Estimate net pay before you accept an offer

This take-home pay calculator is built for people comparing a real salary offer, not just a headline gross number. Choose United States or United Kingdom, enter annual gross pay, then add the deductions that materially change the amount that reaches your bank account.

For US estimates, the calculator applies federal income tax brackets, standard deduction assumptions, FICA payroll taxes, a state tax estimate, and annual pre-tax or post-tax deductions. For UK estimates, it applies PAYE income tax, National Insurance, pension contributions, student loan repayments, and an optional Scottish tax-band toggle.

How to use it

  1. Pick US or UK.
  2. Enter annual gross pay.
  3. Add the deductions that apply to the offer or payslip.
  4. Compare the annual, monthly, and weekly net pay breakdown.
