The moat · what generic trackers miss
Every UK deduction.
Handled properly.
Global time trackers show you hours. Clok is the only one that models the actual mess of UK PAYE — the codes, the umbrella cuts, the loans, the CIS deductions — and shows you what actually hits your bank.
Every tax code
1257L · BR · D0 · K · NT · W1
Full UK tax-code parser incl. Scottish (S) 5-band, Welsh (C), emergency codes, K codes (negative allowance). Change your code, every past period recalculates instantly.
Rolled-up holiday
12.07% on every hour
Agency and umbrella workers get holiday pay per shift, not per booked day. Clok tracks the pot so you can set it aside for time off — nobody else even attempts this.
Student loans
Plans 1 / 2 / 4 / 5 + PGL
HMRC-accurate. 9% above each plan's threshold; 6% PGL on £21k+. Auto-picks the lowest-threshold plan if you have more than one — matches how PAYE actually works.
CIS mode
Construction 20% / 30%
For self-employed subcontractors: 20% (registered) or 30% (unregistered) deducted at source. Clok tracks the pot as an advance on your Self Assessment.
Umbrella mode
Margin + Apprenticeship Levy + Employer NI
Contract rate → −Umbrella margin → −Apprenticeship Levy (0.5%) → −Employer's NI (15%) → Your assignment rate. Then normal PAYE. What you see is what lands.
Payslip export
One-tap UK payslip PDF
Every deduction on a proper A4 payslip. Tax code, NI cat, gross, IT, NI, SL+PGL, pension, rolled-up holiday, YTD figures. Reconcile against your umbrella payslip in seconds.
Other time trackers show your hours.
None show your money.
The problem
You clock in and out all week. Your timesheet says 40 hours. But what will you actually take home after Income Tax, National Insurance, and pension? You're left guessing until payslip day.

About the maker
Martyn Wheatley
Founder · Leicestershire, UK
I built Clok because every time-tracking app I tried was made for the US market — spitting out numbers that had nothing to do with what actually lands in a UK bank account after Income Tax, National Insurance, and pension.
UK workers, agency staff, sole traders, and small teams all deserve a tool that speaks their language and shows the honest number. So I made one — solo, in the UK, with real 2026/27 tax logic baked in.
If Clok helps you or something feels wrong, I want to hear from you personally. I read and reply to every email.
