Hiya! I built PoundWise.UK because every time I needed to work out my take-home pay or figure out stamp duty, I'd end up on sites buried in ads, paywalls, or outdated numbers. I just wanted something clean and fast that gives you the answer without the noise.
It honestly started from frustration - I was making decent money but so much of it was going to HMRC because I didn't know the ways to legally reduce my tax bill. Things like the optimal salary/dividends split, claimable expenses I'd been ignoring, and pension contributions that bypass tax entirely. I thought, if I didn't know this stuff, other people probably don't either.
So it grew from a simple take-home pay calculator into five calculators and a bunch of plain-English guides covering everything from Ltd company tax strategy to maternity pay.
Everything is free, no sign-up required, and updated for the 2026/27 tax year. I'd love to hear what you think - especially if there's a calculator or guide you wish existed!
