How does the UK Income Tax work?

Calculate your total taxable income from all sources.

Deduct your Personal Allowance (£12,570 for 24/25).

Apply the 20% Basic Rate to income up to £50,270.

Apply the 40% Higher Rate to income between £50,271 and £125,140.

Apply the 45% Additional Rate to income above £125,140.

Calculated instantly with up-to-date HMRC thresholds. Our engine ensures 100% accuracy for the current tax year.

Pro Tip: Keep your receipts!

Tax-Free Threshold: Most people don't pay tax on the first £12,570 they earn.

High Earners: Your Personal Allowance reduces by £1 for every £2 earned over £100,000.

Progressive System: Rates only apply to the portion of income within that specific band.
