How to choose the right calculator
Start from how you earn. If you drive or deliver for a platform (Uber, Deliveroo, Just Eat, Amazon Flex), you're self-employed — use your platform's calculator or the sole trader calculator, which works out Income Tax and National Insurance on your profit after expenses. Employees wanting take-home pay should use the income tax & PAYE calculator. Company directors taking dividends need the dividend tax calculator with corporation tax. Buying property? Use stamp duty; selling one? capital gains tax.
