What a UK payslip must show

  • Earnings before and after deductions.
  • Each variable deduction, such as Income Tax and National Insurance.
  • Fixed deductions, either as amounts or in a separate statement.
  • Hours worked, where the pay varies with time.

Tax is worked out as for the first pay period of the 2026/27 tax year, and National Insurance at category A rates. Later periods on a cumulative code can differ by a few pence. For other income tax figures try the take-home pay calculator.
