# About ComputeNow URL: https://computenow.co.uk/about/ > An independent website of free UK calculators for pay, tax, property, vehicles, loans and savings, built on official rates and showing the working. This calculator shows a worked example below. To use your own figures, add them to the URL as query parameters (listed in https://computenow.co.uk/llms.txt), for example https://computenow.co.uk/about/?=. # About ComputeNow ComputeNow shows you every line of the sum, then what's left each month. It is an independent website of free UK calculators for pay, tax, property, vehicles, loans and savings. ## What we do There are 40 calculators, from take-home pay and stamp duty to car tax, pensions and import duty. Every one shows its working line by line, says which tax year it uses and when its rates were last checked (currently 18 October 2026), and lists the official sources behind it. The calculators feed one money plan, What's Left: 7 steps from your take-home pay to your home, car, debts, savings and pension, ending with what is left each month. ## Why we built it Most people meet tax and borrowing rules a few times a year, usually when something changes: a new job, a pay rise, a remortgage, a new car. The rules have changed under them too. The tax-free allowance has been frozen since April 2021 and will stay frozen until April 2031, so pay rises lose more to tax than people expect. And most tools show one number on its own. We wanted one place that is up to date, shows every line, and joins the numbers up. ## Where the numbers come from Every rate and threshold comes from GOV.UK, HMRC, Revenue Scotland, the Welsh Government, the Bank of England, the ONS or the FCA, and is kept with a link to its source. For the 2026/27 tax year, each calculator is tested against worked examples calculated by hand from the published rules. Read [how we calculate](https://computenow.co.uk/methodology/) for the full list of sources and every change we have made. ## Why is this free? ComputeNow is free because it shows ads. Advertisers don't see what you type and have no say in the figures, and we never sell your personal data. There is no sign-up and no bank login. Anything you type into a calculator stays in your browser, and What's Left is saved only on your own device. ## Independent, not advice We are not financial advisers and nothing here is personal advice.
