Estimate only — not tax advice. This calculator uses simplified UK rates for England, Wales & Northern Ireland, assumes materials cost equals materials reimbursed, and does not cover student loans, pension, other income, Scottish tax, limited companies (company CIS offset works differently), payments on account, voluntary Class 2 contributions, or CIS suffered in a different year. Your actual bill depends on your full Self Assessment. Verify with HMRC or a qualified accountant. The figures you enter stay in your browser and are not stored.
