2026/27 UK Payroll Calendar
Stay on top of every important UK payroll date. From tax month end to P60 deadlines, our 2026/27 calendar keeps you compliant.
Managing payroll means managing deadlines. Missing an RTI submission or a pension contribution can result in significant HMRC penalties. Use this calendar to ensure your business stays compliant throughout the 2026/27 tax year.
Key Monthly Deadlines
Every month, you have several recurring deadlines to meet:
- 5th of the month: End of the tax month.
- 19th of the month: Deadline for submitting your Employer Payment Summary (EPS) for the previous tax month (if submitting by post).
- 22nd of the month: Deadline for paying PAYE and National Insurance to HMRC electronically.
- Every Payday: Your Full Payment Submission (FPS) must be sent to HMRC on or before the day you pay your employees.
