2026/27 Tax Year

Bonus, Pay Rise & Overtime Calculator

Use this when the question is not your full annual salary but the next bit of income: the raise, the one-off bonus, the overtime block. It shows how much of that extra pay you actually keep after tax, NI, student loans, salary sacrifice, and HICBC.

Practical note: this calculator estimates the annual effect of extra earned income in 2026/27 using England and Northern Ireland income tax bands.

What this means

Your extra income is currently landing in a relatively normal band, so the main drag is standard tax and NI rather than a special cliff edge.

Why is the marginal rate sometimes higher than 42%?

If student loans, the Personal Allowance taper, or HICBC are in play, the next pound can lose more than basic tax and NI. This calculator works by comparing your full annual position before and after the extra income.

What changes the answer fastest?

The three biggest levers are where your salary already sits in the bands, whether you sacrifice any of the extra income into a pension, and whether the extra income triggers student loan or Child Benefit drag.
