How to use the Teachers Pay Calculator
Step 1: Find Your Base Gross Salary
Select your current official pay scale table based on your Rank (M1–U3) and your Location.
Step 2: Adjust for Part-Time (FTE)
If you work full-time then skip this step. However, if you work part-time then multiply your base salary by your FTE fraction (Days Worked ÷ 5).
Pro-rata Salary = Base Salary x FTE
Example: If you work 3 days a week (0.60 FTE) = Pro-rata Salary} = £37,101 x 0.60 = £22,260.60
Step 3: Add Extra Allowances
An additional stipend is being paid for extra responsibilities, for example the stipend amount is calculated during the additional teaching classes to TLR (Teaching and Learning Responsibility) bonus or SEN (Special Educational Needs) allowance.
Total Gross Annual Salary = Pro-rata Salary + Allowances
Example: If you get a £2,000 allowance
Total Gross Annual Salary = £22,260.60 + £2,000 = £24,260.60
Step 4: Subtract Your Pension (TPS)
Pension Deduction = Total Gross Annual Salary x Pension Rate
Example: For our total of £24,260.60 the rate is 7.4%:
Pension Deduction = £24,260.60 x 0.074 = £1,795.28
Step 5: Subtract Income Tax & National Insurance
Now calculate your government taxes. The taxes are calculated on your income after your pension is taken out.
- Taxable Income: Take your total gross salary and subtract your pension. (£24,260.60 – £1,795.28 = £22,465.32)
- Income Tax (20%): Subtract the UK Personal Allowance of £12,570.
- National Insurance (8%): Pay roughly 8% on earnings above the baseline threshold.
Step 6: Find Your Net Take-Home Pay
Lastly subtract your deductions from your Total Gross Salary to calculate your actual take-home pay.
Net Annual Take-Home = Total Gross – Pension – Tax & NI
Net Annual Take-Home = £24,260.60 – £1,795.28 – £2,773.00 = £19,692.32$$
Monthly Net Pay = £19,692.32 / 12 = £1,641.03
