How It Works
This calculator works backwards from your desired monthly take-home to find the required gross salary, then calculates the pay rise needed from your current salary.
Example: Current salary £35,000, target take-home £2,800/month (£33,600/year):
Required gross salary: approximately £46,500
Pay rise needed: £11,500 (33%)
Note: Tax means a £1 pay rise gives you less than £1 extra take-home. The exact amount depends on your tax band.
