How to use the Required Salary Calculator

To find out what salary you need to support the lifestyle of your dreams, enter the monthly take-home value you need in the "Monthly" box. Select your age from the ranges available.

If you have a company pension which is deducted automatically, enter the percentage rate at which this is deducted. Pension contributions are estimates, click to learn more about pension contributions on The Salary calculator.

If you are married, tick the "Married" box. Similarly, tick the "Blind" box if you are blind. If you are making Student Loan repayments, tick the "Student Loan" box.

When you're done, click on the "Go!" button, and the table on the right will display the information you requested from the tax calculator. You'll be able to see the gross salary, taxable amount, tax, national insurance and student loan repayments on annual, monthly, weekly and daily bases.

This is based on Income Tax, National Insurance and Student Loan information from April 2010. More information on tax rates here.
