Employment Calculator FAQs
Quick Calculator UK offers free employment calculators for: take-home salary (income tax and NI deductions), minimum wage (correct pay for your age and year), overtime pay (rate and total), statutory holiday entitlement (days based on hours worked), and statutory redundancy pay (based on age, length of service, and weekly pay).
Take-home pay is your gross salary minus income tax, National Insurance contributions, pension contributions, and any other deductions. Income tax is applied at 20% (basic rate) or 40% (higher rate) after your personal allowance. Employee NI is 8% on earnings between £12,570 and £50,270, and 2% above. Our salary calculator handles all these deductions for 2025/26.
From April 2025, the National Living Wage for workers aged 21 and over is £12.21 per hour. For those aged 18–20, the rate is £10.00 per hour. Apprentices earn at least £7.55 per hour. These rates are set by the government annually based on Low Pay Commission recommendations.
Statutory redundancy pay is based on your age, weekly pay (up to a cap of £700/week for 2025/26), and length of service. You receive: half a week's pay per year of service under age 22, one week's pay per year aged 22–40, and one and a half week's pay per year aged 41+. The maximum statutory payment is £21,000 (30 weeks x £700 cap).
Most UK workers are legally entitled to 5.6 weeks of paid holiday per year, which is 28 days for a full-time 5-day week worker (including 8 bank holidays). Part-time and variable-hours workers accrue holiday at 12.07% of hours worked (for workers with irregular hours after April 2024 rule changes). Your employer can set specific dates for some or all of your holiday.
