Where each pound goes
How this is calculated
By nation
| Where you live | A month | A year | Income tax |
|---|---|---|---|
| England and Northern Ireland | £5,375 | £64,497 | £24,632 |
| Scotland | £5,129 | £61,547 | £27,582 |
| Wales | £5,375 | £64,497 | £24,632 |
Wales matches England and Northern Ireland because the Welsh rates of income tax for 2026/27 add up to the same rate in every band. National Insurance and student loan repayments are the same in all four nations.

With 5% into a pension
| Scheme type | Into the pension a year | Take-home a month | Take-home falls by | Cost of each pound |

| Relief at source | £4,650 | £4,920 | £2,511 a year | 54p |
| Net pay | £4,650 | £4,916 | £2,558 a year | 55p |
