Compare take-home, monthly net, and tax freedom day. Free, no ads, runs in your browser. ## Quick answer Use this if you want a federal/national estimate of tax plus employee social contributions in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, or India. Skip it if you need a filing, a payslip, US state tax, or Canadian provincial tax. On $75,000 US single (2026) this engine shows about $61,593 take-home (17.9% effective including FICA). The same number in pounds, dollars, euros or rupees is local currency — not FX. ## What is this income tax calculator? It is a browser-side estimator of statutory income tax plus employee social contributions using published 2026 / 2026/27 / 2026–27 rates. It answers “what is left after the national layer?” — not “what will my accountant file?” That is the same job as a field briefing: the number you can act on tonight, with the caveats written next to it. Use it to compare an offer, sanity-check a payslip, or see why a UK letter and a US letter quoting the same numeral are not the same take-home. Do not use it for estimated payments, self-assessment, or state/provincial returns. Those need IRS Publication 15-T, HMRC, CRA, ATO, BZSt, or the Income Tax Department — linked in Sources. ## What does $75,000 look like after tax? The same numeral in six local currencies — not converted. US figures are single filing, federal + FICA. Canada is federal + CPP + EI. Germany is Steuerklasse I, childless. India ₹75,000 is a low annual CTC in that system — open the dedicated India calculator for lakh-scale salaries and old vs new regime. Super in Australia is on top of A$ take-home, not inside it. ## How does income tax work in each country? Tax applies to income above the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single, $32,200 married filing jointly). States add 0% (Texas, Florida, Washington) up to 13.3% (California). Employee FICA is 6.2% Social Security up to $184,500 plus 1.45% Medicare (extra 0.9% above $200,000). This page does not model state tax, 401(k), or health premiums — use the paycheck calculator for pay-period views and the US paycheck page for a US-first layout. England, Wales and Northern Ireland (2026/27): £12,570 personal allowance (tapered £1 per £2 above £100,000), then 20% / 40% / 45%. NI is a second tax: 8% then 2%. Scotland uses different bands and is not modelled. Student loans and salary-sacrifice pensions are excluded — see the UK take-home calculator . ## How do US, UK and Canada tax systems differ? Progressive brackets everywhere; the free slice, social layer, and local add-on are what change. ## What is tax freedom day? If your combined effective rate is e , tax freedom day is day number round( e × 365) of the year. At 17.9% on the US $75,000 example, that is early March. Think-tanks publish national averages using different tax baskets (VAT, corporate tax). Ours is only the employee income-tax-plus-social rate this engine computes — comparable across the six countries on the same numeral, not a cost-of-living score. ## Do you need a UK accountant — or is HMRC enough? Skip an accountant if you are PAYE-only with a normal tax code: this page is an educational estimate. Use HMRC’s free income-tax estimator and your payslip. That official route wins for a simple employment. Compare firms if you are self-employed, a landlord, a limited company, on IR35 or CIS, or filing Self Assessment that this calculator cannot cover. ## Sources & Methodology Estimates apply current statutory brackets and standard deductions from each tax authority. US excludes state tax; Canada excludes provincial tax. Self-employment schedules are not fully modelled. Figures are educational, not filing advice. Standards and figures reviewed August 2026.
