Teacher Pay Calculator UK

We’ve put together a neutral, interactive map showing average teacher pay by region in England, using DfE School Workforce Census data.

It’s not a calculator or opinion piece - just a way to see regional patterns clearly (including leadership share and London splits).

Sharing in case it’s useful for context or discussion.

Let’s be honest, that December payday has to stretch a long way!

If you’re looking to get a head start on your 2026 finances (or just want to see exactly where it all goes), we’ve just given our Teacher Budget Planner a massive upgrade.

It’s designed specifically for teachers but can be used by anyone wanting to keep an eye on those pennies.

What it shows you instantly:

• Your 3-year pay forecast, including increments and pay awards
• Net pay after tax, NI, pension and student loans
• Final-year daily pay
• Scenario comparisons such as:
– Dropping to 0.6 / 0.7 / 0.8 / 0.9 FTE
– Freezing increments
– Staying full-time
• Clear visual summaries to make the differences obvious

No sign-up.
No fuss.
Made for teachers, by teachers.

LGPS Interactive Pension Dashboard

Hello all. I’ve been working on a series of tools and calculators for active and deferred members of the Local Government Pension Scheme, which I’ve pulled together in one simplified dashboard.

You can see how things like part-time work, breaks or early retirement affect your pension all in one place. I’m hoping to get some feedback as to how useful it is and this seems like the right place! Any feedback would be greatly received so I can make it as accurate as possible.

Free and really simple to use. Please share with colleagues and friends. Just for illustrative purposes, not financial advice.
