We love data here and we love to analyze it. We’ve rolled out a number of calculators and when we find new data, you can bet we’re going to roll out a calculator for it.
We’ve got a very big calculator for benchmarking your income on a pre-tax basis, but if you’re interested in finding out how your after-tax (post-tax) income stacks up against the rest of the UK, then this is the calculator for you.
After-Tax Income Percentile Calculator
Fetching the latest data…this might take a few seconds…Thanks for waiting!

This after-tax income percentile calculator for the UK is very simple. You only need to provide one data input: your annual after-tax income. You can get this information from your tax forms.
Outputs
This calculator compares your after-tax income information against the data reported by HM Revenue & Customs.
The calculator shows your percentile ranking in text format. A helpful chart is also generated which shows where you land-up against the entire group of people who are employed and pay income taxes.
The Power of Insight: After-Taxes
It’s safe to say that paying taxes tops everyone’s list of most hated things in life. And to top things off, it can get even more confusing with things like emergency tax or trying to figure what should be the tax rate on a bonus.
Nevertheless, taxes are something that everyone has to pay and has a big impact on what’s left over for you to use personally. We built the UK After-Tax Income Percentile Calculator so that individuals can understand their financial standing post-tax deductions.
Unlike our pre-tax income percentile calculator, which considers your gross income, this tool adjusts for the amount you actually receive after taxes. By doing so, it offers a more realistic and precise perspective on your spending power and lifestyle affordability.
This adjustment allows for a fair comparison amongst all income groups, as tax rates tend to be progressive, with higher income individuals typically paying more in taxes. With this tool, users gain critical insights into their relative financial position in society, post all tax deductions, which is essential for sound financial planning and decision-making.
Furthermore, it serves as an excellent instrument for understanding wealth distribution and tax effects in the country, initiating discussions about economic policies, and highlighting the potential need for tax reform.
