About Salary Calculator HQ
Free UK salary tools, published methods and identifiable sources.
Salary Calculator HQ is a free UK earnings dashboard, with take-home pay, salary comparison and national and regional benchmarks. It separates estimated spendable cash from pension contributions, so a larger headline salary does not hide the trade-off.
One UK Service, a New Name
Salary Calculator HQ is the new name for the UK calculator previously called PayFigured. The operator remains ELENOVO HOLDINGS LTD. Our main website is salarycalculatorhq.co.uk; old PayFigured links redirect here. We still use hello@payfigured.co.uk for enquiries and corrections.
You can check the operator’s Companies House record, company 16703117. Company registration identifies the operator; it is not approval of the calculator or financial advice.

- Compare two salaries or pension contribution choices.

- Explore your gross salary against published UK and regional earnings bands.
- Print your results using your browser.
Independent and Limited by Design
The calculation model uses published government rules. It is not affiliated with HMRC, another salary calculator, a pension provider or a recruiter. The public beta has automated checks but has not been professionally certified or reviewed by a payroll practitioner.
One employment for the full year, 12 regular monthly pay periods, Category A employee National Insurance and employment income only. Choose no pension, the auto-enrolment preset on qualifying earnings, or custom percentages on full reference salary. Pension tax treatment can be net pay or salary sacrifice. Figures exclude bonuses, irregular pay, other income, benefits, custom tax codes, relief-at-source pensions, childcare, pension tax charges and loan payoff timing. Auto-enrolment eligibility is not assessed.
Your Salary in Context
The earnings chart and regional map compare annual gross salary with published Office for National Statistics (ONS) Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings figures. The benchmark is 2025 provisional, for full-time employee jobs. It is historical survey data, not a live ranking of everyone in the UK.
Choose the UK or a workplace region to change the chart's benchmark, median and published percentile bands. Where published data meet our quality checks, high-earner bands extend to the top 1%. Some regional estimates are too uncertain or lack quality information, so the dashboard shows a broader band instead of inventing a finer rank.
Regional selection does not change your Income Tax jurisdiction. Comparisons do not adjust for occupation, working hours, inflation or living costs, and are not a judgement of what a particular job should pay.
The Benchmark in Brief
In the ONS ASHE 2025 provisional full-time employee-job figures, the UK median annual gross earnings are £39,039. The top-10%, top-5% and top-1% thresholds are £76,903, £99,387 and £186,840 respectively. These are historical gross-earnings estimates for the tax year ending 5 April 2025, not take-home pay or a ranking of every UK resident.
Read the UK salary percentile guide, check London's different thresholds and quality limits, or compare all 12 workplace regions. The high-earner figures come from ONS release 3105; the full sources and sampling limitations are set out below and in the methodology.
Publication and Checks
Published by Salary Calculator HQ, operated by ELENOVO HOLDINGS LTD. Earnings sources and this explanation were checked on 17 October 2026. The dashboard and earnings guides use the same versioned ONS dataset; automated tests check calculation examples, published thresholds and generated tables. The review date records a substantive check, not an automatic daily refresh.
These checks are not independent professional certification or a claim of expert review. A release can pass automated tests and still contain a mistake. Report a correction with a fictional example. We do not need your payslip or personal financial documents.
How the Site Is Funded
The calculator is free. The intended business model is advertising, not a paid calculation service. No advertising is active.

How to Describe the Figures
The tax tools use 2026/27 rules within the published calculation scope. Earnings comparisons use ONS Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) 2025 provisional data for full-time employee jobs. They are historical earnings benchmarks, not forecasts, job offers or cost-of-living comparisons. A calculated position between published earnings bands is an estimate, not an observed percentile.
When citing an earnings comparison, identify the source year, population and region, and retain the link to the relevant ONS source shown on the page. For example: “Salary Calculator HQ analysis of ONS ASHE 2025 provisional full-time employee earnings.” Do not describe the site as endorsed or certified by ONS or HMRC.
