1. What is the UK Rental Property Tax Calculation?

The UK rental property tax calculation determines how much tax you owe on your rental income after accounting for the £1,000 property allowance and deductible expenses. This calculator helps landlords estimate their tax liability.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the UK rental tax formula:

\[ Tax = (Rental\ Income - £1,000 - Expenses) \times Tax\ Rate \]

Where:

\( Rental\ Income \) — Total rental income received (GBP)
\( £1,000 \) — Property allowance (can choose this or deduct actual expenses)
\( Expenses \) — Deductible expenses (GBP)
\( Tax\ Rate \) — Your applicable tax rate (%)

Explanation: The calculation first subtracts the £1,000 property allowance and any deductible expenses from your rental income to determine taxable profit, then applies your tax rate.

4. Using the Calculator
