2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

Gross Pay — Your total salary before any deductions
Income Tax — Amount deducted for UK income tax
National Insurance — Contributions to the UK National Insurance system
Student Loan — Repayments for student loans (if applicable)
Pension Contributions — Amount contributed to your pension scheme

Explanation: The calculation provides your actual take-home pay after all mandatory and voluntary deductions.
