Disclaimer

This calculator is provided for informational purposes only and should not be considered as financial or tax advice. All calculations are performed locally in your browser — no personal data is collected or sent to our servers. Rates and thresholds are sourced from HMRC and GOV.UK and are updated for the current tax year. Always verify results with HMRC or consult a qualified professional before making financial decisions.

How It Works

Each year HMRC publishes a breakdown showing how your income tax and National Insurance contributions are spent by the government. The Annual Tax Summary divides spending into categories such as Health (NHS), Welfare, State Pensions, Education, Defence, Transport, Public Order and Safety, and Government Debt Interest.

For 2025/26, the largest share of tax goes to Health (around 20%), followed by Welfare (around 19%) and State Pensions (around 13%). The summary uses published Treasury data on departmental spending to calculate your personal share based on the total tax and NI you paid during the year.

This calculator takes your income tax and NI figures and produces a visual pie chart showing exactly where your money goes. It helps taxpayers understand the real-world impact of their contributions and can be useful for financial literacy and personal budgeting decisions.

Example: £8,000 total tax and NI paid

  1. Health (NHS): £8,000 × 20.2% = £1,616
  2. Welfare: £8,000 × 19.1% = £1,528
  3. State Pensions: £8,000 × 12.8% = £1,024
  4. Education: £8,000 × 11.5% = £920
  5. Defence: £8,000 × 5.3% = £424
