Gross to Net Salary Calculator

Translate gross salary into an estimated net figure using a simplified tax percentage—handy for offers, not a full payroll engine.

Ready.

Gross looks bigger than life

Offer letters quote gross; rent is paid from net. A gross-to-net estimate bridges that gap with a transparent percentage model you control. It will not replace IRS tables, HMRC PAYE codes, or benefits deductions, but it stops fantasy budgeting off headline salary.

Workflow tip

Run best/likely/conservative tax percentages, then feed net into a budget planner. Cross-check salary-after-tax tools on this site when you want another angle. Educational use only.

FAQ

Is this an official tax calculator?
No. It uses a simplified rate you provide. Real US federal/state or UK PAYE/NIC rules are more detailed.
Should freelancers use this?
As a rough net target, yes—then price with the freelance hourly tool and confirm filings with proper software or an accountant.
Does it include pensions or student loans?
Only if you fold them into the percentage you enter.
