Estimate your Income Tax for the current year

Use this service to estimate how much Income Tax and National Insurance you should pay for the current tax year (6 April 2018 to 5 April 2019).

This tells you your take-home pay if you don’t have any other deductions, such as pension contributions or student loans.

If you’re self-employed, the self-employed ready reckoner tool can help you budget for your tax bill.

You may be able to claim a refund if you’ve paid too much tax.

on the HMRC website

Before you start

You can’t get an estimate online if:

• you’re not a pay as you earn (PAYE) taxpayer
• your only income is from self employment or state benefits, such as State Pension
• you contribute to a pension scheme through your employer
• you’re repaying a student loan

If you have more than one job, use the calculator once for each job.

There are different ways to:

• check your Income Tax payments for the current year
• check how much you paid last year (6 April 2017 to 5 April 2018)
• estimate how much you should have paid in a previous year

You can check you’ve paid the right tax by contacting HMRC or by getting help from an accountant.
