Assumptions used

  • England, Wales and Northern Ireland income tax rates for 2026/27 (Scottish rates differ).
  • Pension operated as a Net Pay Arrangement, so contributions reduce taxable pay.
  • Auto-enrolment minimums: 5% employee on qualifying earnings.
  • Standard tax code with no benefits in kind, student loan or other income sources.
  • Personal allowance tapered on adjusted net income (gross salary less pension).
