How to Reduce Your Limited Company Tax Bill

Employer pension contributions

Company pension contributions reduce your taxable profit — saving 19–25% in corporation tax. A £10,000 pension contribution at the 25% rate saves £2,500 in corporation tax. Enter a pension amount in the limited company tax calculator above to see the impact.

Director salary optimisation

The most tax-efficient salary is usually £12,570 — the personal allowance. This avoids income tax on the salary while the cost deducts from corporation tax. Use our dividend tax calculator to optimise the split. For a comparison between limited company and sole trader, use our sole trader vs limited company calculator.

Limited Company Tax Calculator — Frequently Asked Questions

At £100,000 turnover with £12,570 salary, £5,000 expenses and no pension: taxable profit ≈ £81,294. Corporation tax ≈ £19,248. Available for dividends ≈ £62,046. After dividend tax: director take-home ≈ £69,000–£72,000. Total effective tax ≈ 28–30%. Enter your figures in the limited company tax calculator above for your exact result.
The most common approach is £12,570 — the personal allowance. No income tax on the salary, deductible against corporation tax, and preserves your NI record. Employer NI of £1,135 applies. The net corporation tax saving on the salary outweighs the employer NI cost for most companies.
A combination is most efficient — salary up to the personal allowance to deduct from corporation tax, then dividends from remaining after-tax profit at lower tax rates. Use the limited company tax calculator above and our dividend tax calculator to find the optimal split for your income level.
Yes — type 100,000 or 100000, both work. The limited company tax calculator strips commas before calculating, so use whichever format you prefer.
A sole trader pays income tax and NI on all profit above £12,570. A limited company pays corporation tax (19–25%) then you pay dividend tax (8.75–39.35%) on distributions.
