UK-wide NHS

England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland

Staff choose an NHS pay region for pay references. Tax calculators support Scottish income tax bands when you are a Scottish taxpayer, recognise Welsh PAYE coding and Welsh rates of income tax where they apply, and treat Northern Ireland with UK income tax bands (aligned with England), not the Scottish schedule.

  • Four NHS pay regions in your profile
  • Scottish income tax bands when applicable
  • Welsh taxpayer codes and devolved rates awareness

Are you at risk of an annual allowance tax charge?

The annual allowance limits how much your pension can grow tax-free each year. For NHS staff with extra sessions, CEAs, or recent pay rises, the NHS pension alone can push you over the limit, which can trigger a tax charge at your marginal rate. Many don't find out until they receive a Pension Savings Statement.

Includes risk checks, Pension Savings Statement guidance, and when to use our calculators.
