At £500/week (£26,000/year), you pay approximately £2,686 Income Tax and £1,074 NI in England 2025-26, taking home around £22,240/year (£428/week net).

Is weekly pay taxed differently to monthly pay?

No. HMRC calculates tax cumulatively regardless of pay frequency. A weekly-paid employee earning the same annual salary as a monthly-paid employee pays the same total tax. The main difference is that weekly payrolls apply a 1/52 weekly personal allowance rather than 1/12 monthly.
