1. What is PAYE Hourly Rate Calculation?

The PAYE (Pay As You Earn) hourly rate calculation determines your net hourly wage after tax deductions in the UK. It helps employees understand their actual take-home pay per hour worked after income tax and National Insurance contributions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the PAYE hourly formula:

\[ \text{Net Hourly} = \text{Gross Hourly} \times (1 - \text{PAYE Rate}) \]

Where:

\( \text{Gross Hourly} \) — Hourly wage before tax deductions (GBP/h)
\( \text{PAYE Rate} \) — Combined tax and National Insurance rate (%)
\( \text{Net Hourly} \) — Take-home pay per hour after deductions (GBP/h)

Explanation: The formula calculates your actual earnings per hour by applying the PAYE tax rate to your gross hourly wage.

3. Importance of PAYE Calculation

Details: Understanding your net hourly rate is crucial for budgeting, financial planning, and comparing job offers. It helps you know exactly how much you earn for each hour worked after mandatory deductions.

4. Using the Calculator
