What does the UK Salary Comparison Calculator do?

The UK Salary Comparison Calculator lets you enter two annual gross salaries and see the true difference in take-home pay, tax, National Insurance and pension for each one.

Who is this salary comparison tool for?

The tool is designed for anyone comparing a new offer with their current salary, negotiating a pay rise, or just curious how two UK salaries stack up after tax and deductions.

Does the calculator give tax advice?

No. The calculator uses typical England income tax bands and employee National Insurance to provide an estimate for guidance only. It is not personalised tax advice and should not be treated as such.

Compare Two UK Salaries - the Easy Way

Keeping track of old salaries, new offers, and “how much do I actually take home?” gets confusing pretty quickly. This tool puts both numbers side by side and shows the real difference — after tax, NI, pension, everything. No mental maths, no spreadsheets, no digging through old notes.

It’s especially handy when you’re weighing up a new offer, anticipating a pay rise, or just curious how two salaries actually compare. A quick, clear comparison so you can see what the change really means and get on with more important things.

If you want to see the full breakdown of either salary on its own, the UK Take-Home Pay Calculator gives you all the details.

Note:

This calculator is here to give you an estimate and not a financial advice. The numbers use the latest 2024/2025 UK Tax Year rules and standard settings/assumptions. Please consult your financial adviser or tax consultant to discuss your exact circumstances.
