Understanding Teacher Pay in the UK (2025–26)

Our teacher salary calculator shows your gross pay, deductions and take-home against the official 2025–26 teacher pay scales. Whether you’re on the Main or Upper Pay Range, in school leadership, or an unqualified teacher, we use current tax, National Insurance, pension and student loan thresholds to estimate pay accurately.

Model part-time or full-time roles, add TLR/SEN allowances, and handle non-standard tax codes. Each calculator gives monthly and yearly breakdowns so you can plan budgets, compare roles, or check pay before applying. Learn more in our part-time teacher pay calculator.

Why it matters

Clarity on teacher pay supports better career and financial decisions. Our tools combine Department for Education pay data with Teachers’ Pension Scheme rules to show how today’s choices affect take-home now and retirement later.
