Important notice
Disclaimer
This website is designed to help UK workers sense-check pay and understand core National Minimum Wage rules. It is not a substitute for personalised legal, tax, or payroll advice.
Information only
The calculator and guides are for general information. They are not legal advice, tax advice, employment advice, or payroll advice.
Results are estimates based on the user inputs and the assumptions stated on the site. A real entitlement or payslip outcome can differ because of missing facts, classification issues, contractual terms, payroll timing, or rules not yet modeled in this version.
Not a final legal determination
A result that suggests underpayment is not, by itself, a formal legal finding. Likewise, a result that suggests compliance is not a guarantee that the employer has met all legal obligations.
Minimum wage cases often depend on the exact pay reference period, work type, deductions, contracts, record-keeping, accommodation facts, and whether the worker is actually entitled to the rate selected.
User responsibility
You are responsible for checking that the inputs you enter are accurate. This includes age, school leaving age status, apprenticeship year, hours worked in the pay reference period, and any work-related deductions.
When to seek specialist help
If the numbers suggest underpayment, or if your situation is unusual, you should check the official HMRC guidance and consider getting tailored advice from a qualified employment adviser, trade union, payroll professional, or solicitor.
