Our commitments
This site tells people things about their own money. That carries an obligation, and these are the rules we hold ourselves to.
1. Every figure has a source
We use GOV.UK as the source for every statutory rate and threshold. Each one is listed, with a link, on our methodology page. We do not take figures from other calculator sites, news articles or summaries.
2. We show our working
Every calculator shows a full breakdown, not just a final number. If we cannot explain how a figure was reached, we do not publish it.
3. We say when we last checked
Every calculator carries the tax year it applies to and the date the figures were last verified. If that date looks old, treat the figures with caution and tell us.
4. We state our assumptions
Every calculator lists what it assumes — standard tax code, no other income, and so on. An estimate presented without its assumptions is misleading, even when the arithmetic is correct.
5. We correct mistakes openly
If we get something wrong we fix it and note what changed. We do not quietly edit a page and pretend it was always right.
6. Money never changes a number
UK Job Now does not currently carry advertising or affiliate links, so there is no commercial pressure on any figure on this site. If that ever changes, we will say so here and on the page it applies to, and it still will not move a calculation. No advertiser or commercial arrangement gets to influence a result.
7. We do not give personal advice
We publish general information and calculators. We do not give personal tax, financial or legal advice, and we cannot advise on an individual case. Where a question needs professional help, we say so and point to
GOV.UK,
Acas or
Citizens Advice.
8. Updates
Rates change on 6 April each year, and sometimes at a Budget. We aim to update within a week of any change.
