1. What is Take Home Pay?

Take home pay (net salary) is the amount of money you actually receive after all deductions from your gross salary. In the UK, these deductions typically include Income Tax, National Insurance contributions, student loan repayments, and pension contributions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ \text{Net Pay} = \text{Gross Pay} - \text{Income Tax} - \text{National Insurance} - \text{Student Loan} - \text{Pension Contributions} \]

Where:

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

Explanation: This calculation shows your actual disposable income after all mandatory and voluntary deductions.

3. Importance of Salary Calculation

Details: Understanding your take home pay is crucial for budgeting, financial planning, and comparing job offers. It helps you know exactly how much money you'll have available each month.
