From yearly pay to monthly pay
Divide your salary by 12 and you get your monthly pay before tax. Take-home is lower, because tax and National Insurance come off first.
On £40,000 a year you earn £3,333 a month before tax and take home £2,693 a month in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
If your pay arrives every four weeks or weekly
Switch the amount to weekly and type your weekly pay. The calculator turns it into a yearly figure, then shows the month, week and day.
Questions people ask
How is monthly take-home worked out?
We work out your tax, National Insurance and other deductions for the whole year, then divide by 12.
Why does my payslip change from month to month?
Bonuses, overtime, a change of tax code or a pension change all move the number. The calculator shows the steady figure for a standard year.
What if my pay comes weekly?
Use the weekly option. Your weekly take-home is the yearly figure divided by 52.
