How to Use the Salary Comparison Tool
Enter the gross salary, pension contribution percentage and student loan plan for each job. The calculator shows you the exact difference in take-home pay, tax, National Insurance and student loan repayments.
When to use this tool
- Comparing job offers — See the actual difference in your bank account, not just the headline salary
- Negotiating a pay rise — Understand how much extra you really get from a £5,000 or £10,000 increase
- Location comparisons — A £45,000 job in London vs a £40,000 job elsewhere (factor in cost of living)
- Pension trade-offs — See how increasing your pension contribution affects your take-home pay
