Salary After-Tax Calculator
Estimate take-home pay in the UK, Canada or Australia.
About this calculator
Your gross salary and the amount that actually reaches your bank account are two very different numbers, and exactly how far apart they are depends on the country you work in. This calculator estimates your take-home pay in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia after income tax and the main social contributions each country levies.
The UK deducts income tax across 20%, 40% and 45% bands after a personal allowance that is gradually withdrawn once you earn over £100,000, plus employee National Insurance. Canada stacks a federal income tax on top of a provincial one (this tool uses Ontario as a representative province) and adds CPP and EI contributions. Australia applies its resident income-tax scale plus a 2% Medicare levy.
Pick your country and enter your gross annual salary to see your net pay per year, month and week, your effective tax rate, and a line-by-line breakdown of every deduction. Because tax systems change every year and vary by region and personal circumstances, treat the result as a solid estimate for planning rather than an exact payslip.
Frequently asked questions

Does it include social contributions?
Yes. UK figures include National Insurance, Canadian figures include CPP and EI, and Australian figures include the 2% Medicare levy, alongside income tax.
Why might my real payslip differ?
Personal reliefs, pension contributions, student-loan repayments, provincial or regional variations and tax-year changes all affect the exact figure. This is a simplified single-taxpayer estimate.
