The taxable pension calculation determines the portion of your pension income that is subject to taxation after deducting allowable tax-free portions and allowances. This helps pensioners understand their actual tax liability.

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• Gross Pension — Total pension amount before any deductions
• Allowances — Tax-free portions and deductible amounts
