Methodology and assumptions
IR35 status depends on the full engagement and working practices. The calculator provides an indicative planning comparison, not a status determination or tax advice.
Use the full planning workspace
The dashboard keeps your assumptions together so you can compare routes, inspect deductions, adjust pension and company inputs, and move from a headline estimate to practical planning actions.
