About Locum Pay Calculator
Free, independent calculators that compare NHS salaried pay with locum work for doctors, nurses and allied health professionals in the UK.
- Updated for 2026/27
- Official NHS and HMRC figures
- Checked 20 October 2026
Locum rates are easy to compare with each other but hard to compare with a salary. Paid leave, sick pay, the NHS pension and the way you're paid (PAYE, umbrella or limited company) all change what a rate is worth. We built these calculators to make that comparison clear.
Every figure comes from an official source and is listed on our sources page. Read how we work in our editorial policy.
The calculators give estimates for guidance. They are not financial or tax advice. Locum Pay Calculator is not part of, or endorsed by, the NHS.
