Nice, focused feature set — salary slider, Scotland tax bands, student loan options, pension relief and employer-cost math are all surfaced without burying the user in jargon. It doesn't invent a new category, but the tax-band visualization and advanced options (tax codes, employer NI) show care; I'd want export/print and privacy/version notes before recommending it widely.
