Not sure where to find your tax code? Just take a look at either a recent payslip, P45\/P60, PAYE coding notice or a pension advice slip. But make sure whatever you\u2019re using is for the tax year you\u2019ve inputted. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why though?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your tax code can change every year depending on your individual circumstances, so if you\u2019re checking out whether your current salary and tax code are correct, but taking your tax code from a P45 from 2013, that info won\u2019t be up to date.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on your tax code, we can tell you the rate of Income Tax you\u2019re being taxed on, whether you\u2019re claiming any allowances, and whether you\u2019re currently indebted to HMRC so paying back money.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the <\/span><b>Results<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> section, we\u2019ll give you a brief breakdown of what the letters mean and whether we think, based on your salary alone, that you\u2019re on the right tax code. Then in the <\/span><b>Calculations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> section underneath, take a look for a slightly more in depth explanation of each letter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our tax code checker can be used if you\u2019re being taxed in England only. But be aware that there are loads of letter\/number combinations, so please only take these results as an estimate. If something doesn\u2019t add up, get in touch with HMRC or visit HMRC online to check out your tax account details.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is a tax code?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A tax code is a combination of letters and numbers that appear on your payslip. They are what HMRC use to tell your employer or pension provider how you\u2019re being taxed and what allowances you\u2019re entitled to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The letters relate to your salary or circumstances, the number indicates the amount of either tax-free income you\u2019re entitled to, or how much you owe HMRC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your tax code can change every year, so make sure you\u2019re using up-to-date documents to gather information.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tax in 10(ish) seconds - what is a tax code?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W1C1sKoEtvg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think my tax code is wrong<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Panic \ud83d\ude31<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re joking. Do not panic. If you think your tax code is wrong, or you just want to know why you\u2019re on the one you\u2019re on, get in touch with HMRC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They send you a letter at the beginning of every tax year &#8211; or if ever they change your tax code &#8211; to let you know what you\u2019re being taxed on, and why. So have a look for this letter or check HMRC online for more info.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>My tax code isn&#8217;t recognised<\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry, there are so many codes that you may need to get in touch with HMRC to confirm why you&#8217;re on the one you&#8217;re on.
