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.
