Scottish Income Tax Calculator
Scotland has its own income tax rates with 6 bands instead of 3. Calculate your Scottish income tax and compare with rest-of-UK rates.
Guidance, not advice. This calculator runs the rules as published, it doesn't assess your circumstances. Your actual tax may be affected by factors it doesn't cover (allowances used elsewhere, reliefs, marriage allowance, scheme-specific adjustments). Always seek financial or tax advice from your accountant, or contact HMRC. Read our editorial scope →
