Your wages after tax in the United Kingdom depend on several factors:

• Gross Salary – Your total income before deductions.
• Income Tax Bands – Tax-free Personal Allowance and applicable tax rates.
• National Insurance Contributions (NICs) – Deductions based on earnings.
• Pension Contributions – Workplace or private pension deductions.
• Student Loan Repayments – If applicable.
• Other Deductions – e.g., childcare vouchers, salary sacrifice schemes, or company benefits.

Together, these determine your net (take-home) pay.
