Salary Comparison Calculator
Comparing two job offers? A bigger salary isn't always the better deal. Put both side by side, with bonus, overtime, employer pension, commute and other costs, and see which leaves you better off on gross, on take-home, and on real money in your pocket.
Estimate only. Estimates based on 2026/27 income tax and National Insurance. Take-home assumes a standard tax code and salary-sacrifice pension; your payslip may differ. Not financial advice.

Why the headline salary can mislead
Two offers with the same salary can be worth very different amounts. A generous employer pension can add thousands to your total reward without touching your take-home. A long commute or lost benefits can quietly eat the pay rise you thought you were getting. This calculator runs both offers through the same 2026/27 income tax and National Insurance rules, then subtracts your real-world costs, so you compare like with like, on gross pay, on take-home, and on the money that actually reaches your pocket.
