1. What is Monthly Net Salary?

The monthly net salary is the amount an employee takes home after all deductions (taxes, national insurance, student loan repayments, and pension contributions) have been subtracted from the gross salary, divided by 12 months.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Gross Pay} \) — Annual salary before deductions (GBP)
• \( \text{Income Tax} \) — Total annual income tax (GBP)
• \( \text{National Insurance} \) — Total annual NI contributions (GBP)
• \( \text{Student Loan} \) — Total annual student loan repayments (GBP)
• \( \text{Pension Contributions} \) — Total annual pension contributions (GBP)

Explanation: The formula calculates the annual net pay first by subtracting all deductions from gross pay, then divides by 12 to get the monthly amount.
