2026 Corrections
April 2026
14 April 2026 — National Insurance rates on take-home pay pages
Affected pages: All take-home pay pages (£25,000–£100,000)
Error: Several take-home pay pages were using the 2025/26 employee National Insurance rate of 8% without clearly stating this was being carried forward into 2026/27. Following the April 2026 start of the new tax year, all pages have been reviewed and updated to confirm the 2026/27 rate remains 8% (no change was made at the Spring Statement 2026). Take-home figures have been verified against HMRC’s tax and NI tables.
Status: Corrected
9 April 2026 — National Minimum Wage rates updated for April 2026
Affected pages: Minimum wage guide, minimum wage quick reference, related benefit entitlement pages
Error: On 1 April 2026, new National Living Wage and National Minimum Wage rates took effect. A small number of pages still showed the October 2025 uprated figures rather than the April 2026 rates. Pages have been reviewed and updated with the correct rates: National Living Wage (21+) £12.21/hour; 18-20 rate £10.00/hour; under 18 and apprentice rate £7.55/hour.
Status: Corrected
March 2026
25 March 2026 — Child Benefit rates for 2026/27
Affected pages: Child Benefit guide, High Income Child Benefit Charge guide
Error: The 2026/27 Child Benefit rates were confirmed following the Spring Statement but had not been updated on all relevant pages. The correct 2026/27 rates are: £26.05/week for the eldest/only child; £17.25/week for additional children. Pages have been updated.
Status: Corrected
14 March 2026 — State Pension amount 2026/27
Affected pages: State Pension amount guide, State Pension quick reference, State Pension complete guide
Error: Following the confirmation of the triple lock increase applying for 2026/27, the full new State Pension rate of £230.25 per week was updated across all relevant pages. An earlier draft figure of £229.10 appeared briefly on the quick reference page before being corrected on the same day.
Status: Corrected
