Use MyTaxDoc Self-Employed Take-Home Pay Calculator
Calculating your self-employed income tax can be confusing, but with the MyTaxDoc Self-Employed Take-Home Pay Calculator, the process is straightforward. Simply enter the details of your income and expenses, and our tool will calculate your estimated take-home pay based on current UK tax laws for the 2024/25 tax year.
Step 1: Enter Your Gross Income
The first step is to input your gross income (total income earned before tax deductions). This figure represents your earnings as a self-employed individual for the tax year. This could include all your business income, freelance work, or contract payments.
Step 2: Enter Your Business Expenses
Next, input your business expenses. These expenses can be deducted from your gross income, which reduces your taxable income.
Step 3: Input National Insurance Contributions
As a self-employed individual in the UK, you are required to pay National Insurance contributions. These contributions depend on your profits. Enter the amount of National Insurance contributions you have paid or will be paying for the current tax year.
Step 4: Enter Student Loan Repayments (Optional)
If you have a student loan and are required to make repayments, enter the amount here. The repayment amount is based on your income level and the type of student loan plan you’re on (Plan 1, Plan 2, or Plan 4). This will be deducted from your take-home pay.
Step 5: Calculate Your Take-Home Pay
Once you’ve entered all the required information, simply click “Calculate Take-Home Pay”. The tool will quickly compute your estimated take-home pay by subtracting taxes, National Insurance contributions, business expenses, and any student loan repayments from your gross income.

Understanding the Calculation Process
The MyTaxDoc Self-Employed Take-Home Pay Calculator works by first subtracting your business expenses from your gross income to get your taxable income. Then, it calculates your income tax (based on UK income tax bands), National Insurance contributions, and any student loan repayments.
The income tax for the 2024/25 tax year is as follows:
- Personal Allowance: The first £12,570 of your income is tax-free.
- Basic Rate: 20% on income between £12,570 and £50,270.
- Higher Rate: 40% on income between £50,270 and £150,000.
- Additional Rate: 45% on income above £150,000.
After calculating your tax deductions, your National Insurance contributions and student loan repayments are also deducted to give you your final take-home pay.
