How this calculator works
Calculate 2026–27 PAYE by tax code and pay period using IRD payroll formulas and truncation rules.
Formula
PAYE follows the IRD period calculation and rounding rules and already includes ACC.
Worked example

Scope and edge cases
Eligibility, tax codes, certificates, multiple income sources and annual reconciliation can change the final outcome. Missing components are disclosed instead of silently becoming zero.
