Scottish salary tables 2026/27
Take-home pay for every salary from £2,026 to £200,000 on the 2026/27 Scottish income tax bands, which have 6 rates from 19% to 48% rather than the three used in the rest of the UK. National Insurance is not devolved, so it is identical to the England, Wales and Northern Ireland table; the difference in each row is income tax alone. Standard 1257L code with the Scottish S prefix, no pension, no student loan.

Lower earners keep slightly more in Scotland and higher earners slightly less: the 19% starter rate cuts tax on the first slice of income, and the intermediate, higher and advanced rates each sit above their UK counterparts. The crossover, and why the gap changes with salary, is on the Scottish income tax guide. For a salary that is not listed, the Scottish income tax calculator takes any figure.
