The tool gives an estimate for a full year on the figures you enter. It does not handle separate assessment, income from abroad, capital gains, the Help to Buy scheme, flat-rate expenses or a Revenue tax credit certificate that differs from the standard credits. The 2027 figures are Budget 2027 as announced and change if the Finance Act does.

Information, not legal advice. This tool applies the published rules to the dates and figures you enter. It does not say whether a dismissal was unfair, a deduction unlawful or a redundancy genuine: those turn on facts and procedure a tool cannot weigh.
