Sources & Methodology
Where the pay, tax and employment-framework information comes from.
Primary sources
- NHS Employers — Agenda for Change terms and conditions
- NHS Employers — Pay scales for 2026/27
- GOV.UK — Income Tax rates and allowances
- GOV.UK — National Insurance
- NHSBSA — NHS Pension contribution information
- GOV.UK — Student loan repayments
Methodology
The calculator combines selected pay-scale values with the user’s country, pay point, hours and optional deductions or enhancements. Results are estimates and should be checked against current official guidance and your payslip.
Because tax, National Insurance, pension, student-loan and local arrangements can change, this page is a source map rather than a guarantee that every future payroll rule is represented.
