The calculation will not update until then.0 -
Morning everyone - just an observation that I found the calculator a little misleading and had to really stop and think what the figures it spat out meant, as the table didn't appear to follow in a mathematical sequence - for me anyway!!
For my circs - (Employed, Pension Contri, Tax code includes company car impact) the below were the relevant numbers in order;
Gross WagePension Contribution
National Insurance
Tax PaidTake Home Pay
The below were just useful to knows;Pension HMRC - I assume this is what is paid from my NIc's to my HMRC Pension Pot for when I retire?Student LoanTax Free Allowance - reflective of my Tax CodeTaxable Wage - This number for me looked wrong as I expected this to reflect my Gross Wage, minus any non taxable deductions like Salary Sacrifice schemes for Child Care Vouchers and Private Pension?
I use https://www.thesalarycalculator.co.uk/salary.php which works but use this one to sense check the data it spits out due to the NI's reforms due later this year.
Anyone else feel the same?
@Former_MSE@Former_MSE_Andrea it might be an idea to look at expanding the functionality of this fundamental calculator as along with what goes out its vital to know what is coming in and apart from the link I have posted there isnt anything else out there that produces this type of Data.0 -
Worth noting that the pension contribution is overestimated on this calculator. Pension contributions are on qualifying earnings and not the whole salary.

Hi,
The NI in the calculator is not the new rate from 6th November.1 -
This tax/NI calculator doesn't work. I put my 22-23 yearly earnings in it as I had exactly done on my self assessment, & it calculated £100 less than my self assessment bill has come out on HMRC.0

MSE probably won't factor in class 2 & 4 NI and is known to be wrong in respect of pension contributions.0
