Free. 30 seconds. From a photo of your payslip or CIS statement.
No account, no password. Your payslip stays yours.
How it works
Photo it
Payslip, umbrella statement or CIS statement. Blurry's fine, we'll tell you.
We check it
Tax, NI, holiday pay, umbrella deductions, your CIS rate — against this year's HMRC figures.
You get a number
"Looks right" or "£312 looks missing", with what to say to whoever paid you.

It becomes your TradeCard
Your first check starts your card. Every check, ticket and CIS statement after that makes it more complete, and nobody sees it unless you share it.
What it finds
- Holiday pay held back and never paid
- Employer's NI taken out of your pay
- 30% CIS deducted when you're on 20%
- Deductions on your materials
- Emergency tax codes that never got fixed
- Umbrella margins higher than your KID
- Pay that doesn't match your hours

Tickets that travel
CSCS, ECS, IPAF and the rest in one wallet. Send them to a new site in one tap.
Tax, ready
Your CIS deductions add up as you go. Quarterly updates and your rebate, without a shoebox of statements.
The going rate
What your trade is actually paid in your city, from real payslips — never from a survey.
Straight with you
We read your document and check it against HMRC's published rates. We don't verify anything with HMRC, your umbrella or your agency, and we're not advisers. If we say something looks wrong, we show you exactly how we worked it out.
Common questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Checking a payslip is free and always will be. We make money when we do something for you — like file your tax return or get your rebate — and we tell you the price before you say yes.
Who sees my payslip?
You. Our software reads it; a person at TradeCard only looks if you ask us to double-check something. Your numbers are never shown to employers, agencies or other members.
What's "the going rate"?
The middle of what members in your trade and city are being paid, from their payslips, over the last 90 days. We only show it once enough people have checked, and we never show anyone's individual pay.
Can I use it now?
TradeCard is invite-only for a few weeks. Start a check, and if you don't have an invite link, leave your number and we'll text you.
