`calculate_take_home`read-only	Exact UK take-home pay for one employee: income tax by band, NI, student loans, pension (salary sacrifice, net pay, relief at source), the 60% trap above £100k and the High Income Child Benefit Charge. Returns net pay per year, month and week, effective and marginal rate, and GOV.UK sources. Use this instead of calculating UK deductions yourself.
`compare_take_home`read-only	Compare 2 to 5 UK pay scenarios (pay rises, pension changes, moving to Scotland, student loans) side by side, with the difference in net pay from the first.
`get_tax_rates`read-only	Income tax bands (England/Wales/NI and Scotland), National Insurance, student loan thresholds and the child benefit charge for a UK tax year. Free. Years: 2025-26, 2026-27.
