• Estimator entry point for incremental Income Tax from rental profit.
• Clear list of what this MVP does not model for overseas cases.

What most people are trying to estimate

For many searches, the core question is: how much extra UK tax will I pay because of rental profit? This is affected by your other income (marginal rate).

What's not included

This MVP does not model overseas tax credit interactions, specific non-resident scheme mechanics, joint ownership splits, or mortgage interest relief (Section 24). Treat it as a simplified estimator.

Next steps checklist

Before you file or speak to an accountant, collect: net profit, other income, and any non-resident/overseas tax factors that may apply.
