R & D Tax Credit Estimator

Estimate your R&D tax credit in under a minute.

Select your scheme

Most companies from 2024/25 use the merged scheme. Choose ERIS only if your company is loss-making and R&D spend is 30% or more of your total costs.

Legacy SME applies if you have fewer than 500 employees (and under €100m turnover). Legacy RDEC applies to large companies or SMEs with grant-funded R&D.

Merged scheme: 20% above-the-line credit. Net benefit ~15% after 25% Corporation Tax.
