Calculators

The calculations that come up most often with HMRC, with an accountant and at a border. Everything runs in your browser: we never see your figures or your dates, and nothing is stored.

VAT: add it and take it out

Enter an amount and pick a rate. You get the net figure, the tax itself and the gross — the three numbers an invoice needs.

Amount, £ Rate The amount is

VAT rates: HMRC. Registration is compulsory above the turnover threshold — check on GOV.UK.

Take-home pay

A gross annual salary — and what is left after income tax and National Insurance. For England, Wales and Northern Ireland, tax year 2026/27.

Annual salary, £

Personal allowance £12,570, rates 20/40/45%, National Insurance 8% and 2%. Sources: GOV.UK “Income tax rates” and “National Insurance rates”. Scotland taxes income differently. Student loan, pension contributions and your tax code are not included here.

Schengen days: 90 in 180

Since April 2026 the days are counted by the EES, not by an officer reading stamps. Enter your trips and see how many days are used on a chosen date and how many remain.

Date to check

The rule: no more than 90 days of stay in any 180-day window. The day of entry and the day of exit each count as a full day. This is your own arithmetic, not an official decision — at the border the EES counts.

Absences and the road to settlement

You live by the rules for five years and then find that one long trip home broke the continuity. Enter your trips and see whether you stay within the limit. The three routes have different rules — pick yours.

Route Date of application

The day you leave and the day you return do not count as absence: you were in the country for part of those days. Exceptions — reserve service, serious family circumstances — are not applied here and are considered separately. This is your own arithmetic, not a decision: the Home Office decides. The rules: no more than 180 days in any rolling 12 months (work routes and, from 11 April 2024, long residence); for periods that began before 11 April 2024, continuity is broken by 184 consecutive days or 548 days in total; under the EU Settlement Scheme, no more than 6 months in any 12-month period, plus one absence of up to 12 months for an important reason.

Currency converter

On our sterling rates and the official rates of the region’s central banks. For reference, not for dealing: your bank or transfer service will use its own rate and add a fee.

Checks against government registers

The UK sanctions list, a VAT number in the HMRC register, a company in Companies House, a postcode. The query goes straight to the register and we do not store it.
