Last updated: August 2026

Acceptance of terms

By using policepaycalculator.co.uk, you agree to these terms of use. If you do not agree, please do not use this site.

Estimates only

All figures produced by our calculators are estimates for general information purposes only. They are based on published pay scales and HMRC tax rates and may not reflect your exact circumstances, including your specific force, tax code, historic underpayments, or non-standard allowances. Always check your actual payslip and consult your force's payroll or HR department for definitive figures.

Not financial or pension advice

Nothing on this site constitutes financial, tax, pension or legal advice. Pension estimates in particular are simplified illustrations and should not be relied upon for retirement planning decisions. For advice tailored to your circumstances, consult a qualified independent financial adviser or your pension scheme administrator.

No affiliation

Police Pay Calculator is an independent, privately run website. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the NPCC, the Police Federation, the Home Office, any individual police force, or any government body.

No liability

We make reasonable efforts to keep pay scales and tax rates accurate and up to date, but we accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from reliance on figures produced by this site, including decisions made about pay, pension, budgeting or employment.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
