This free police pay rise calculator shows what the confirmed 3.5% pay award means for your salary in 2026/27.
Enter your rank and pay point to see your new salary, your pay increase, and your real take-home after pension, tax and NI.
It covers every rank from constable to chief superintendent across England and Wales.
The calculator applies your chosen award to the current pay scales, then works out what actually reaches your account. The headline percentage is never what lands in your bank.
Your PPS 2015 pension is charged on the higher salary first, and a rise can move you into a higher contribution tier on your whole pay.
Income tax and NI then apply to the increase. With the higher-rate threshold frozen at £50,270, part of a top-scale constable's rise is now taxed at 40%.
