As expected, Philip Hammond announced during the Autumn Budget that the Government will raise the "personal allowance" – the amount of income everyone can earn tax free – to £11,850 from April this year, up from £11,500 currently.

At the same time, the higher-rate, 40pc, tax threshold is to increase to £46,350 from £45,000.

The move is part of the Conservatives' previously-announced plan to raise the personal allowance to £12,000 and higher-rate to £50,000 by April 2020.

Fill in your details in the calculator below to work out your take home pay today, and how this compares to your take home pay in April, once the rate changes come into effect. 

The calculator does not take pension contributions, child tax credits or student loan payments into account.
