FairNetPay publishes free take-home pay, salary and tax calculators for individual countries. It is run by FairNetPay. You can reach us through the contact page.
Why this site exists
Most pay calculators either cover one country or apply the same simplified model everywhere. Tax systems are not alike: Australia has the Medicare levy and HELP, the UK has tax codes and National Insurance, Canada combines federal and provincial tax with CPP and EI, New Zealand has ACC and KiwiSaver. We build each country separately, in its own terms, so the result looks like the payslip you would actually receive.
Methodology
- One rules file per country and tax year. Brackets, thresholds, offsets, levies, social contributions, pension rules and student loan settings are stored as data, copied from the tax authority's own publications. Previous years stay available so you can check last year's pay or a tax return.
- A shared calculation core, separate country engines. Generic tools — progressive brackets, rounding, period conversions — are shared. Everything specific to a country lives in that country's engine.
- Tests against official examples. Where a tax authority publishes worked examples or payroll formulas we reproduce them in automated tests, together with checks at thresholds and at very low and very high incomes. A change that fails any test is not published.
- Dated and sourced. Every calculator shows the tax year it uses and the month its rules were last checked, and links to the official sources.
The full process is described in how we calculate; the standards every page follows are in the editorial policy; every published change is in the changelog.
