Official sources & calculation basis
The calculator applies the Y/A 2025/26 annual progressive bands after eligible reliefs, then accounts for the tax credits you enter. Special income categories are treated separately where applicable. Monthly APIT estimates use regular employment income; bonuses and other payments can require different IRD tables.
This is an independent estimate. Check the applicable IRD guidance when preparing your return.
