How we use sources
Core assumptions on this site are reviewed against GOV.UK, HMRC and, for Scottish taxpayers, the Scottish Government's published income tax rates. Where a calculation is simplified or an assumption is made, that is stated on the relevant page and explained in full on the methodology page.
All figures reflect the 2026/27 tax year unless otherwise noted. When HMRC confirms new income tax bands, National Insurance rates or Benefit-in-Kind figures, the calculators and these sources are updated.
