Salary vs take home pay
« on: January 13, 2015, 04:10:56 PM »
I'm thinking of relocating to the UK. I'm trying to determine what my take home pay would be. I don't have a good estimate from the employer. Income taxes and NHS fees are pretty easy to look up, but are there any other hidden deductions I'm missing? There are a number of calculators for this online but can anyone recommend one that's particularly accurate?

Generally for a standard employee, the things they take out are straightforward and the tax/national insurance calculators will be accurate. The only other changes would be if you're on a pension plan with the employer, there will usually be a contribution from your gross pay as well as an employer contribution, but your employer will have to tell you how much it would be; in some pension schemes you can also choose to pay in extra to your pension, but obviously that will be under your control.

This is accurate.  You can enter different deductions as well.
