About this UK Director Payroll Calculator
Verizome's Director Payroll Calculator projects payroll for the 2026/27 UK tax year for a company director who was already in office when the tax year began. You provide the salary and statutory facts that apply; Verizome does not choose your tax code, National Insurance category or loan status for you.
Full-year projection
Full-year projection applies the same monthly salary and selected payroll facts across PAYE tax months 1 to 12. It is a planning projection and does not reproduce earlier payroll runs.
Start salary later in the tax year
This option projects salary beginning in a later PAYE tax month for a director who was already in office at the start of the tax year. It assumes no earlier projected salary and does not carry previous PAYE pay or tax into the calculation.
Director National Insurance methods
The annual method calculates director NI using total earnings for the tax year so far, less NI already accounted for. The alternative method uses monthly treatment during the year and includes an annual reassessment on the final projected payment.
Scottish and Welsh tax codes
Tax codes beginning with S are treated as Scottish codes and codes beginning with C as Welsh codes. Enter the tax code that applies to you; the calculator does not determine which tax code you should use.
Student Loan and Postgraduate Loan
The calculator supports Student Loan Plans 1, 2, 4 and 5, plus Postgraduate Loan, when you supply the relevant loan status.
Important limitations
The projection assumes the same monthly salary, tax code, tax basis, NI category, Director NI method and loan status for every projected month. It does not model salary changes, bonuses, a director appointed or leaving during the tax year, pension contributions, salary sacrifice or other deductions from pay.
Start salary later does not reconstruct previous payroll or carry previous PAYE pay or tax forward. If previous payroll figures need to be carried into the PAYE calculation, this calculator is not suitable for that purpose.
