Understanding tax

In the HMRC app you can see details about your job and salary and how your Income Tax, tax-free amount and take-home pay are calculated. If you have any income from a private pension then you can also see this.

You can also see your National Insurance number, Self Assessment Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) and tax code.

Keep track of your tax credits

You can check when tax credits have been paid and when your next tax credits payment is due. You can also renew your tax credits.

Tax calculator

The HMRC tax calculator tells you how much National Insurance and Income Tax you need to pay for the tax year 2019 to 2020. You can use it to work out your take-home pay if you change your working hours, the amount you earn changes or you get a new job.

Help to Save

In the app you can track your savings and see how much your bonus is. You can set up savings reminders so that you remember to save each month.
