About
About mytakehome.money
mytakehome.money is a free, independent set of money calculators for the UK and US. We work out your real take-home pay, check what benefits you might be missing, and answer the everyday "how much will I actually keep?" questions — accurately, and with every figure traceable to an official source.
We started with UK take-home pay and grew into benefits, pensions, stamp duty, and a full set of US paycheck and state-comparison tools. The through-line is the same everywhere: get the numbers right, and show where they come from.
