1. What is the Tax on Savings Interest Calculator?

The Tax on Savings Interest Calculator estimates the amount of tax payable on savings interest based on your marginal tax rate and personal savings allowance in the UK for the 2023 tax year.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the tax calculation formula:

\[ Tax = \max(0, Interest - PSA) \times Tax\_Rate \]

Where:

\( Interest \) — Savings interest amount in GBP
\( PSA \) — Personal savings allowance (£1,000 for basic rate, £500 for higher rate, £0 for additional rate)
\( Tax\_Rate \) — Marginal tax rate (0.20, 0.40, or 0.45)

Explanation: The calculation determines the taxable amount by subtracting your personal savings allowance from your total interest, then applies your marginal tax rate to calculate the tax due.

3. Importance of Tax Calculation

Details: Accurate tax calculation on savings interest is essential for proper tax planning, compliance with HMRC requirements, and avoiding underpayment or overpayment of taxes.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your total savings interest in GBP, select your marginal tax rate, and choose the appropriate personal savings allowance based on your tax bracket. All values must be valid (interest ≥ 0).
