How to use the tax calculator
- Check the country: it follows your device's region, and you can pick the US, UK, Canada, India or Australia.
- Enter your salary before tax, per year or per month.
- Add the one or two details that change tax most there: filing status and state in the US, Scotland in the UK, your province in Canada, the regime in India, or the income year in Australia.
- Read your take-home pay per month and per year, and each tax line. For pensions, student loans and other deductions, open the full calculator linked under the result.
Take-home pay on an example salary in each country
| Country | Salary | Take-home | Average rate |

| USsingle, federal | $60,000 | $50,390 | 16% |
| UKEngland | £35,000 | £28,720 | 17.9% |
| CanadaOntario | $60,000 | $47,340 | 21.1% |

| Australia2026–27 | $80,000 | $64,200 | 19.8% |
These aren't comparable as amounts, because the salaries are in different currencies and typical pay differs, but the average rate shows how much each system takes from a middle income.
