What is the Personal Allowance?
The Personal Allowance is the amount of income you can earn before you start paying Income Tax. For 2026/27, it remains at £12,570.
If your income is above £100,000, your Personal Allowance is reduced by £1 for every £2 of income above the threshold - use our income tax calculator to see the exact impact.
Marriage Allowance
If you're married or in a civil partnership and one partner earns below the Personal Allowance, you can transfer £1,260 of their unused allowance to the higher earner - saving up to £252 per year in tax.
