This page helps you sanity-check salary offers in Edinburgh using UK PAYE assumptions. The key figure for practical planning is monthly net pay after income tax, National Insurance, student loan and pension effects, not gross salary alone.
For Edinburgh, common decisions are shaped by salary mixes that often include variable pay in finance and tech. That makes scenario testing important before committing to role changes or relocation. The salary table below is server-rendered with default assumptions so it is indexable and easy to compare.
Important: UK income tax does not vary by city. Only tax region, tax code and deduction settings change the calculation.
