Independent Clarity
For UK Officers
Built to provide fast, practical, and highly accurate pay tools that work on shift without comprising your privacy.
Our Core Mission
We exist to decode complex police regulations into actionable financial clarity.
Police Pay (UK) was created out of frustration with how difficult it is to get a straight answer on frontline pay. Between dense Home Office circulars, opaque pension updates, and evolving local force policies, officers on shift often struggle to answer basic questions like "How much will I actually take home from this overtime shift?"
Our calculators and authority guides are built to bridge that gap. We aim to be the fastest, most reliable reference for UK police pay scaling, overtime rates, and career financial planning.
Editorial
Standards & Data
Data Sourcing
All our baseline figures and calculators strictly reference the Police Regulations 2003, the Police Federation of England & Wales (PFEW) circulars, and official Home Office PRRB reports. We do not use unverified forum data.
Continuous Auditing
Guides are routinely audited against the latest national pay scale adjustments (historically implemented every September). Our technical calculators are adjusted within 24 hours of major statutory tax or NI tier changes.
Neutral & Objective
We do not engage in political commentary regarding police pay disputes. Our mandate is strictly mathematical and operational—focused solely on translating the current reality of what an officer will take home.
Accuracy Disclaimer
While we strive for absolute precision, we are not your force's HR or payroll department. Tax codes, pension opt-outs, and local force variations (e.g., specific London Weighting boundaries) mean our tools should be used as strong estimates rather than guaranteed financial advice.
Independence &
Privacy First
Police Pay (UK) is a fiercely independent project. We are not funded by, affiliated with, or endorsed by the College of Policing, any regional Police Force, or the Police Federation. This structural independence ensures our guides serve the officer, not the institution.
Operational security matters. When you use our calculators to input your salary, rank, or overtime hours, that math happens dynamically in your device's browser. We do not transmit, log, or store your financial inputs on our servers.
