iHow it is calculated
This calculator works backwards: you tell it the annual take-home you want, and it finds the gross salary that produces it. Because Income Tax (20/40/45% above the £12,570 Personal Allowance) and National Insurance (8% then 2%) both change at fixed thresholds, gross does not scale in a straight line with net. The tricky part is the £100,000 taper: above £100k the Personal Allowance is withdrawn by £1 for every £2 earned, creating an effective ~60% band up to £125,140 — so a small rise in your target net can need a surprisingly large jump in gross. The tool solves for gross and also shows the total employer cost.
gross = the salary where (gross − Income Tax − National Insurance)= your target take-home
Example — £110,000 gross (2026/27, England): Personal Allowance £0, taxable £185,309 → income tax £69,592, employee NI £5,717 → net £110,000 a year (£9,167/month, £2,115/week).
