Environment Agency Officer Take-Home Pay Calculator
Last updated:
This calculator estimates net (take-home) pay for an Environment Agency Officer for the 2026/27 tax year (6 April 2026 to 5 April 2027). Tax, National Insurance and pension use 2026/27 rules. Gross salary from your band uses the pay figures in our datasets (the stated pay-scale year on each dataset may still reflect an earlier national award until we update it). Use your band and years in band to set gross, or enter a custom amount.
