1. What is Monthly Net Pay?

Monthly net pay is the amount of money a UK property professional takes home each month after all deductions including income tax, national insurance, student loan repayments, and pension contributions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:
