Who we are

About UK Tax Tools

Free, verifiable UK tax calculators for the 2025/26 tax year – built for people who want a straight answer, not a sales pitch.

What we do

UK Tax Tools is an independent project publishing free interactive calculators for the tax questions people search for most: self-employed National Insurance, inheritance tax on gifts, and checking whether you have overpaid tax.

Every calculator uses the official 2025/26 HMRC rates and thresholds, and we publish our full methodology and test cases so the numbers can be checked, not just trusted.

What we are not

We are not HMRC, not a government service, and not a tax firm. We do not sell tax advice, courses, or "get rich" schemes. We do not collect personal data – nothing you type into a calculator leaves your browser. We are not compensated to push any specific product; any future affiliate links will be clearly disclosed.

Why accuracy is the whole point

  • All figures sourced from official publications (gov.uk, Scottish Government)
  • Calculation logic published in full on our Methodology page
  • 24 automated test cases re-run on every change
  • Rates reviewed and updated every April

Editorial review

All content is fact-checked against official sources before publication and reviewed at least annually. Calculator pages display their last review date in the footer. If you spot an error, we fix it within 48 hours – please use the contact page.
