Although it calculates the basic tax and personal allowance, it does not take in to account your government pension which is deducted from your re calculated personal allowance after Income limit for age-related allowances has been taken into consideration.I am an Accountant.

Doesn't work if you contribute into a superannuation scheme deducted pre-tax.

I have a private pension of 7300 per annum, do I need to include my state pension in the total?
Is that not tax free?
The State Pension is taxable. It's paid gross, but the tax attributable to it should be recovered from your private pension via restriction of your Personal Allowance.
If you're on the point of receiving the State Pension you should have had a P161 from HMRC ..... and they will use the data from that to adjust your Code number.
So - as to the Calculator - you put in your total gross (PP + SP) ..... but you'll get drivel out of it if you don't have the correct Code number yet!If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !0 -

So, if your government pension is more than your personal allowance, you will end up with a negative personal allowance.
Run that by me one more time... how on earth can your state pension be more than your personal allowance?
(And 'negative personal allowances' are taken into account on this calculator - that's what the K tax codes are for.)Conjugating the verb 'to be":

Why can't State Pension be more than your personal allowance?
State Pension can be over £200 a week with various earnings related elements etc. and if your income is high enough the personal allowance is the same as someone under 65 (£6,475).I am an Accountant.

Why can't State Pension be more than your personal allowance?
Because the state pension is only £95.25 per week (£130.00 if you want to be generous and include pension credit,) and the personal allowance for someone aged 65-75 is £9,030 (£173.65 per week.)
And while I can't find figures anywhere on HMRC or direct.gov, I'm sure S2P/SERPS won't account for the £78.40 difference between the two figures.Conjugating the verb 'to be":

It would be useful if the checker also had a box to put in part-time hours for pro-rata salaries?0

I entered NT in the tax code box. It said tax was still payable. NT code means no tax!!!!!0

feedback:
the tool provides a simplistic view of the pension contribution and NI catagory. There really ouht to be more options to set these as lots of people are in schemes where there pension contributions are made gross and/or are in different NI catagories.0 -
my tax code 09/10 is "647L 0" on wage slip, put this in and says £0 tax but just put "647L" and brings up what is actually taken off. Anyone explain why the "0" is on wage sliip?
