About PayPlainly

PayPlainly is an independent website that helps people understand their pay. People use it to compare job offers, check a pay rise or plan a monthly budget. Each calculator shows what a salary or hourly wage is worth after tax.

What we do

• Take-home pay calculators built on the latest official tax rates.
• Clear breakdowns by year, month, week, day and hour.
• Step-by-step workings on every page, so you can see how each number is reached.

Accuracy

We use published figures from HMRC, GOV.UK, the IRS and the Social Security Administration. Rates are stored in one place and reviewed at the start of every tax year and whenever the government announces changes. Read our methodology for the details and assumptions.
