About Netly Pay
Netly Pay is an independent UK pay-calculation and information project designed to answer a simple question: what is a salary, pay rise or day rate actually worth after the main payroll deductions?
What we publish
We build free calculators for salary, pay rises and day-rate comparisons, alongside explanatory guides covering Income Tax, employee National Insurance, student loans, pensions and payroll concepts. The focus is practical understanding rather than selling a financial product.
Our editorial approach
Tax-year assumptions are checked against primary government sources. Guides distinguish official rules from Netly Pay modelling assumptions, and worked examples are intended to make the rules easier to follow. We avoid presenting annual estimates as exact payslip predictions.
Privacy by design
The core salary calculations run in your browser. Netly Pay does not require an account and does not intentionally send the salary, bonus, pension or student-loan figures you enter to our analytics service. See the Privacy page for analytics and contact-form details.
Independence
Netly Pay is not affiliated with HMRC or the UK Government and is not a payroll bureau, employer, financial adviser or tax adviser. Advertising may support the site, but advertiser relationships do not alter calculator results or editorial conclusions.
Keeping information current
The current release covers the 2026/27 tax year. Important methodology and rates pages show review information, and our source page links directly to the primary references used. If you believe something is wrong, please send a correction.
Where to start
Why the site shows its working
Netly Pay is an independent calculator and reference site, not HMRC, a payroll provider or a financial adviser. Each calculation page links to the assumptions behind the result, and the tax-rate pages link to primary government sources. The aim is to make a result understandable enough that you can challenge it, compare it with a payslip and identify when your circumstances fall outside the model.
Corrections
If a published rate, threshold or calculation appears wrong, please use the contact page and include the page, figure and source you believe should be checked. Calculation corrections are prioritised because a small input error can affect many examples.
