Budgeting in the UK
Enter your monthly take-home pay after Income Tax, National Insurance, workplace pension and any student loan deductions. Remember UK-specific costs: council tax (often paid over 10 or 12 instalments), a TV Licence if you watch live TV or use BBC iPlayer, energy bills and annual costs like car insurance and MOT. Official tax tools are on GOV.UK.
UK money apps connect to accounts via Open Banking — see best budgeting app UK and Emma vs Snoop. For the government Budget (not personal budgeting) see UK Budget 2026.
