Understanding Your Pay

Key Tax Concepts Explained

Your tax code tells your employer how much tax-free income you're allowed each tax year. It's usually a combination of numbers and letters, like 1257L, and ensures you pay the correct amount of Income Tax.

Scottish Income Tax bands differ from the rest of the UK, with specific rates and thresholds. Our calculator automatically applies these, along with Personal Allowance tapering rules for higher earners.
