Transparency &
Methodology

Transparency. Accuracy. Independence.

Last Updated: 25 February 2026

Our Mission

Police Pay exists to make police pay, pensions and regulations understandable.

Policing is governed by:

  • Police Regulations 2003
  • Police (Conduct) Regulations 2020
  • Police Pension Scheme Regulations
  • Home Office circulars & PRRB reports

We are not affiliated with:

  • Any police force
  • The College of Policing
  • The Home Office
  • Any staff association or federation

Data Sources

Police Pay relies on publicly available and officially published material. We do not rely on leaked documents or unpublished internal data.

Home Office Pay Tables
PRRB Reports
Police Regulations 2003

How Our Calculators Work

Security & Privacy

All calculators run locally in your browser. We do not store:

  • Salary inputs
  • Pension figures
  • Tax calculations

Calculation Logic

Based on published pay scales, known pension accrual formulas, HMRC tax bands and National Insurance thresholds.

Transparency Features

  • • Assumption notes displayed
  • • Estimate disclaimers visible
  • • Date of last update shown

Accuracy & Limitations

Police Pay provides estimates — not official payroll outputs. Actual pay outcomes depend on:

Tax Code Pension Status Force Policy

Verify Your Data

We aim for accuracy but do not guarantee personalised financial precision. Always verify with your payslip, Force HR, or official published regulations.

Editorial Standards

Clarity

We avoid jargon and legal ambiguity, translating complex regulations into plain English.

Neutrality

We do not advocate for political positions or industrial action. We remain objective.

Source-Based

Every claim is grounded in published regulations, official reports, or legislation.

Update Commitment

Major pages reviewed when pay awards change, regulations are amended, or case law develops.

Independence & Advertising

Police Pay may display advertising to fund hosting, development, and data research.

Advertising never influences:

  • • Calculator outputs
  • • Guide content
  • • Regulatory explanations

We do not sell personal financial data or provide sponsored editorial content disguised as guidance.

Evolving Platform

Our platform continues to expand into welfare guidance, misconduct process explanation, and workforce retention analysis. Use the contact form below for corrections or feedback.
