🎯 What NHSCalculators.co.uk is

NHSCalculators.co.uk is an independent, free resource providing accurate NHS pay calculators built specifically for Agenda for Change terms. Every calculator uses the actual AfC pay rules — not generic salary estimators.

The site was built because NHS staff were using general-purpose salary calculators that did not understand NHS pension tiers, HCAS London weighting, OMP maternity rules, AfC sick pay entitlement or unsocial hours enhancements. The results were wrong. NHS staff deserved better.

Every calculator on this site is built on the same rules applied daily by a qualified NHS payroll manager with 14 years of experience.

⚠️ What NHSCalculators.co.uk is not

NHSCalculators.co.uk is not affiliated with NHS England, NHS Employers, NHSBSA, HMRC or any government body. We are an independent website.

All calculations are estimates for guidance only. Pay calculations depend on your specific employment contract, Trust policies, tax code and personal circumstances. Always verify your pay with your NHS payroll department or HR team before making any financial decisions.
