## Tools (4)

- `calculate_uk_take_home`: Calculates UK take-home pay for an employee in tax year 2025/26 or 2026/27 from HMRC's published rates: income tax by band (England, Wales and NI, or the six Scottish bands incl. the 2026/27 Scottish starter and basic bands), employee Class 1 National Insurance (8% / 2%), student loan repayments (Plan 1, 2, 4, 5 and Postgraduate, with 2026/27 thresholds), and pension by salary sacrifice or relief at source. Applies the Personal Allowance taper above £100,000 (£1 per £2, the 60% trap) and reads tax codes such as 1257L, S1257L, K475, BR and D0. Returns net pay a year, a month and a week. Figures copied from gov.uk and HMRC in Oct 2026.
- `compare_salaries`: Compares 1 to 5 UK gross salaries after income tax, National Insurance, student loan and pension for 2025/26 or 2026/27, with the same region, tax code and options for each. Shows net pay a year, month and week, effective and marginal rates, and how much of each pay rise you keep compared with the first salary. Shows when a rise lands in the £100,000 to £125,140 Personal Allowance taper (60% in England, 69.5% in Scotland in 2026/27 with NI). Uses HMRC 2025/26 and 2026/27 rates fetched in Oct 2026.
- `get_uk_tax_bands`: Returns the official UK income tax bands for 2025/26 or 2026/27, for England, Wales and Northern Ireland or for Scotland (starter 19%, basic 20%, intermediate 21%, higher 42%, advanced 45%, top 48%), both as taxable-income bands from HMRC's employer tables and as gross-salary bands with the standard £12,570 allowance. Also returns the £100,000 allowance taper, Class 1 NI thresholds and employee rates by category letter, and student loan thresholds for each plan. A figure that is not published is marked unannounced, never guessed. Copied from gov.uk and HMRC in Oct 2026.
- `marginal_rate_at_income`: Returns the true UK marginal rate on the next pounds of salary in 2025/26 or 2026/27: income tax band rate, employee NI and student loan together, plus the Personal Allowance taper between £100,000 and £125,140 that makes it 60% plus NI in England, Wales and NI and 67.5% plus NI in Scotland's advanced band. Handles salary sacrifice, relief at source, Scottish bands and tax codes. Measured as the change in deductions over the next `step` pounds (default £100). Rates from gov.uk and HMRC, fetched Oct 2026.
