Salary Checker UK
See your real hourly wage after commute and unpaid overtime
Free UK salary calculator for 2026/27 that goes beyond tax and NI. The True Wage feature factors in your daily commute cost, commute time, and unpaid overtime to show what you actually earn per hour of life committed to work. Also includes reverse calculator (enter desired take-home, get required gross), compare two salaries, and hourly wage converter. No sign-up, runs in your browser, nothing stored.
I built this because every salary calculator I found only shows tax and NI. None of them answer the question I actually had: "what am I really earning per hour once I factor in my commute?"
I was comparing two job offers. One paid £38K with a 10-minute walk. The other paid £44K but meant a 90-minute train each way and a £400/month season ticket. On paper the £44K role was obviously better. But when I worked out the true hourly rate, the £38K job actually paid more per hour of life I'd be giving up.
So I built a calculator that does this maths for you. Enter your salary, commute cost, commute time, and any unpaid overtime. It shows your "True Wage" alongside the normal tax breakdown.
It's free, runs in the browser, and nothing gets stored. Using confirmed 2026/27 HMRC rates. Would love feedback on what else would be useful.
