How This Calculator Works
Enter your weekly gross pay. The calculator multiplies it by 52 to get your annual gross income, then applies the standard UK income tax bands and NI thresholds. The net result is divided back to a weekly take-home figure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my weekly take-home pay?
Divide your annual net pay (after all deductions) by 52. Or enter your weekly gross pay into this calculator and it will do the maths for you.
Is weekly pay taxed differently to monthly pay?
No. Whether you are paid weekly or monthly, the same annual income tax and NI rates apply. Employers calculate PAYE on a cumulative basis, so the timing of pay does not change the total tax you owe.
How many weeks in a UK tax year?
The UK tax year has 52 weeks (and occasionally 53 weeks). For payroll purposes, most employers calculate on a 52-week basis.
What is a week 1 / month 1 tax code?
A week 1/month 1 emergency tax code means your employer calculates tax on each pay period independently rather than cumulatively. This can lead to over- or under-payment of tax.
