Company Car Tax Calculator

Estimate how a company car taxable benefit can affect UK take-home pay alongside salary, pension and student loan inputs. The car panel calculates the taxable benefit and feeds it into the main take-home pay result.

How your UK take-home pay is calculated

The calculator starts with your gross cash pay, converts hourly pay to annual pay when needed, then deducts any salary sacrifice pension percentage before estimating income tax and employee National Insurance. It also lets you add a student loan plan and non-cash taxable benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which tax year does this calculator use? +
It uses the 2026/2027 UK tax year for England, Wales and Northern Ireland estimates.
Does salary sacrifice reduce National Insurance? +
In this calculator, yes. The pension percentage is treated as salary sacrifice, so the reduced cash pay is used for both income tax and employee National Insurance estimates.
Does this include Scottish income tax? +
No. Scottish income tax rates and bands are different and are not included in this version.
Why might my payslip be slightly different? +
Payroll systems use pay-period thresholds, tax codes and rounding rules. This calculator gives a strong annual estimate, not payroll advice.
