PAYE to Umbrella Calculator
This calculator helps you estimate your net income when switching from a PAYE (Pay As You Earn) model to an umbrella company model.
How to Use
- Enter your Gross Income.
- Enter your Tax-Free Allowance (the amount of income you can earn before you start paying income tax).
- Enter your Student Loan Repayment percentage, if applicable.
- Enter the Umbrella Company Fee that will be deducted from your income.
- Click “Calculate” to see your net income.
How It Calculates
The calculator takes your gross income and deducts the tax-free allowance to compute your taxable income. It then calculates the income tax (20% of taxable income) and National Insurance contributions (12% of gross income). If you have a student loan, it calculates the student loan repayment based on the percentage you provided. Lastly, it deducts the umbrella company fee to provide your net income under the umbrella model.
Limitations
This calculator provides an estimate based on standard rates and may not consider other deductions or variations in tax and NI rates that apply to your specific situation. Always consult with a financial advisor for an accurate calculation tailored to your circumstances.
