Teacher Salary / Take Home Pay Calculator

[mypaycalculator]

Hi all,

https://mypaycalculator.co.uk/teacher

I've created an online calculator for England based teacher to estimate their take home pay, including options for pensions, student loans, TLR, SEN payments.

Please let me know what you think and all feedback are welcome.

Thanks

Can you include a fractional
FTE for part time worker.

I tried feb days and the hours isn't relaxing to me as I FTE is 32 hours and isn't relevant - most teachers won't know it.

Eg "if you are part time,
What fraction of a full time roll do you work e.g 0.8"

I currently use the MSE one and it is always accurate.

You work 7.5 hours a day so if you time that by the days worked e.g 7.5 x 4 days = 30 hours (0.8 )etc it works it out.

It's excellent OP thanks for creating it.

@BG2015 no you can't it doesn't work.

You can try if you like and I will tell you if you can calculate my current salary

I'm UPS 3 with a TLR of 1500 and work 0.8

@pestothepenguin

So you work 0.8, do 37.5*0.8=30 and just change working hours to 30. Does that give you the correct result?

@mypaycalculator it does me but I don't have a TLR

Oh right yes being massively thick

It's because that is 30 hours but my contract is stupidly 24!

I tried putting in both a plan 1 and a plan 2 student loan, it just calculated the total payable for plan 1 rather than a breakdown. Unsure whether the plan 2 loan is included.

@fussychica
You'll pay back 9% of whatever you earn above the lowest repayment threshold from any of your loans. No matter how many types of loans you have, you'll only see one repayment amount taken out of your earnings.

mypaycalculator, thought that would be the case but thanks for clarifying.

1265 hours divided over 39 weeks is a 32.5 hour working week though

Not that it makes any difference for this purpose, but thought worth clarifying for others who may see the thread.

Oh wow @PensionPuzzle that makes loads of sense!

OP you really therefore should change the full time 32.5 hours then the part time hours would make more sense

However a simple part time question would be super helpful.

There is not point for me in using an online calculator of if I have to manually do calculations before I can use it 🤷‍♀️

To be honest @pestothepenguin if you search for the existing The Salary Calculator website it is very accurate (I use the nasuwt teacher pay scales page to find values for TLR etc although they vary school to school anyway). There is a tab specifically for part time calculations. You can also Google the TPS contribution rates for the different salary bands.

It asks you what your hours are when compared with a full time role as a percentage I think but if you know full time is 32.5 hours you can make it work out 0.8 or 80%, or whatever, for you.

Yes already use the MSE one and it's really accurate

The OP wanted feedback and as a part time teacher if it included this pro rata fractional hours then it would be better but it doesn't so it isn't better.

Op had not been back to say they will do this. So therefore it isn't better than using one of the existing calculators.

It’s good but I work in a school with no teacher pension so it would be great to have the option to add a percentage instead.

It would be easier to use if part timers could just put 0.6 or whatever instead of having to work out the hours.

Also, I can't add on the £243 childcare vouchers that I receive and affects tax etc.

It's good, but I usually use I listen to the tax man one. Or there's an excel spreadsheet on TES to download and fill in. Those are just a bit more useful to me.

Worked perfectly for what I wanted to find out. Thank you!👏

@PensionPuzzle @pestothepenguin
Sorry for the delay. Thanks for your feedback. I've change it to 32.5 and also has a part time question instead.

@Traceability @seven201

Sorry for the delay.

If you require adding additional parameter such as custom pension. I would recommend using the main calculator and entering your pre-tax income. As the teacher calculator will work for the majority, adding these paremeters will make the page too cluttered.

Great work!

Hi,

I this is brilliant! I wondered if I could ask a favour?
I am currently on MAT leave and used your calculator to work out pay if I return 4 days a week.
I want to be able to compare payments based on 24/25 salaries and next year's. Your calculator has been updated to reflect the new pay deal(whixh is great!). I wondered if you could help to look at based on this current year's pay. I want to be able to compare the two.

Thanks 😁

A "Teacher Salary / Take Home Pay Calculator" is an essential tool for educators who want a clear understanding of their actual income. It helps calculate the net salary after deductions like taxes, retirement contributions, and other withholdings.
This type of calculator is especially useful for new teachers or those relocating to a different district, as deductions can vary widely. By knowing their exact take-home pay, teachers can plan their budgets more effectively and make informed financial decisions.

This calculator looks really useful — thanks for sharing it!

For those who also need to calculate their age (e.g., for pension, HR, or documentation), this free tool works great in both Hijri and Gregorian calendars:

Thought it might be helpful for some teachers here too!

Is there a possibility of it calculating take home pay with additional pension contributions too?
