Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant calculate verified UK take-home pay, including income tax, National Insurance, student loans and pensions.

What it does
TakeHome API is a remote MCP server for UK salary calculations. It returns take-home pay figures covering income tax, National Insurance, student loan repayments and pension contributions, with GOV.UK cited as the source of the underlying rules. One tool, get_tax_rates, is described as not requiring a key.
When to use it
Use it when an assistant needs to answer UK pay questions, such as net salary after tax, NI, student loan or pension deductions, or to compare take-home amounts. It suits personal finance questions and payroll-adjacent estimates that should reflect current UK rules.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at api.takehomeapi.com; nothing to install locally. Most calls need an API key sent as an Authorization header in the form Bearer ; a free key is offered on the provider's pricing page. The get_tax_rates tool is stated not to need a key. Network access is required.
Before you install
The Authorization header carries a secret API key, so treat it as a credential and avoid exposing it in shared logs or transcripts. The provider states a free key is available, but paid tiers may exist, so check pricing before use. Calculations are estimates based on published UK rules and should not be treated as official tax or payroll advice.
