Taxpert Tax Calculator
Our Tax Calculator App lets you input a client’s income figures so that they can see the resultant tax, NIC and net income figures.
The 2024 Tax Calculator is available now and:
- correctly allocates tax reliefs and allowances to minimise tax liabilities;
- shows what the 2023-24 HMRC self assessment calculator gets and highlight any differences with the App's calculations;
- has a property rental screen to show the effect of the finance cost restriction;
- generates a tax report to show to your client;
- can determine the 2024-25 dividend required to give the same net income as 2023-24 using the equalise function;
- shows the High Income Child Benefit Charge under both the old rules (2023-24) and the new rules (2024-25).
The App also supports the (horribly complicated!) Scottish taxpayer calculations.
Why use the Taxpert Tax Calculator App
The Tax Calculator App saves you from having to reinvent the wheel when it comes to calculating the likely tax liabilities of different scenarios for your clients. Unlike some tax planning tools, our App shows you the correct tax liability for the HMRC exclusion cases relating to income, dividends and interest. You can have total confidence in the accuracy of the tax figures you show your clients. Indeed some of our users automatically use the Tax Calculator App to compare its figures against those produced by their primary tax and accounting software. The 2023 version of the Tax Calculator is still available and will help you to identify 2022-23 returns that cannot be filed online because of the HMRC exclusion cases (see our article).
The main benefit of the Tax Calculator is being able to show your clients the tax consequences of different income and tax relief strategies. This, along with providing the full workings for each calculation, allows them to make reasoned decisions when presented with different scenarios.
At only £99+VAT, or for just £50+VAT if you have already purchased any other Taxpert App, you can have confidence in the resultant figures and help to save your clients money. Further details, along with booking a free trial of the product, can be found HERE.

Taxpert Profit Extraction App
Our 2024 Profit Extraction App shows your clients how much salary, dividends or interest they can take out of their businesses. The Profit Extraction App lets you:
- input profit and other details for the 2023-24 and/or 2024-25 tax years;
- calculate the net incomes for different profit extraction strategies with the 'Optimise' function automatically calculating the optimal strategy based on your client's circumstances;
- see the effects of the 2024-25 changes to income tax, corporation tax and NIC rates and thresholds;
- calculate the 2024-25 dividend required which will give your clients the same net income as 2023-24;
- make the above calculations for Scottish taxpayers as well.
The Taxpert Profit Extraction App in action
- Joe is a sole director shareholder and his company will make about £80,000 profit in the year to 31 March 2025. The optimum profit extraction is for Joe to pay himself director’s fees of £12,570 and a dividend £52,959, giving him net income of £57,124.
- Bella is the same as Joe except that she has financed her company with a loan of £100,000. If the company pays Bella interest of £6,000 and director’s fees of £12,070 she can have a dividend of £48,967 and her net income of £58,605 will be £1,481 more than Joe's!

Taxpert Incorporation App
The Incorporation App sets out the financial consequences of being a sole trader versus a limited company. It enables business owners to see quickly if they should incorporate and if they do, what amounts they can extract from the business. In doing so, it lets you:
- input the trading profit and other income details for 2024-25;
- calculate the net income if trading as a sole trader;
- calculate the net income if trading through a company;
- identify the optimal income mix using the App's 'Optimise' function;
- see the overall savings from incorporation, where appropriate;
- show the calculations for Scottish taxpayers.
The Taxpert Incorporation App in action
- Morag is a sole trader with profits of £75,000. As a Scottish taxpayer her net income for 2024-25 will be £52,715. If she incorporated and took a salary of £12,570 and the rest as dividends her net income would be £54,689 and she is better off by £1,974.
- Billie is a sole trader with profits of £75,000. As a non-Scottish taxpayer her net income for 2024-25 will be £54,811. If she incorporated and took a salary of £12,570 and the rest as dividends her net income would be £54,689 and she is better off by £632.
- If Billie is over the state pension age then incorporating would make her worse off by £2,879 in 2024-25 whereas if Morag was over the state pension age incorporating would make her worse off by £782.
