SLYP connects pay, tax, pension, reconciliation, forecasting and explanations — a concept for the product in development.

SLYP AI

In development

Your NHS pay, tax and pension — connected.

SLYP AI brings together the story behind NHS pay, tax and pensions. Its purpose is to turn separate records into a financial history people can understand: how earnings and deductions connect, where figures differ, and what needs a closer look.

Context

The problem

Employment information for NHS staff arrives in fragments. Pay is recorded on monthly payslips, tax is reconciled through HMRC, and pension membership is recorded separately again. Each record uses its own terms, its own format and its own timing.

Moving between employers, taking on bank or locum work, and changes in pay can make the picture harder to follow. How much did I earn across the year? Why did my take-home pay change? Do my records agree? What do my pension statements mean? These are connected questions, but the information usually sits apart.

Purpose

The bigger picture

The vision for SLYP is an accumulating financial history: a connected view of earnings, deductions, employment changes and pension records that becomes more useful over time. Document reading is the starting point. Reconciliation, explanation and an understandable view across tax years are the purpose.

That means helping people follow a figure back to its source, understand differences between records, and see where information is missing or uncertain. Plain-language explanations should make NHS pay, tax and pension concepts easier to navigate without hiding the detail.

Workflow

From records to understanding

This is the intended end-to-end product journey. SLYP is in development; these stages describe its direction, not a list of fully released capabilities.

  1. Scan

    Read supported documents and identify information that needs review.

  2. Understand

    Each document is classified and its fields identified — employer, period, pay elements, deductions, codes and references.

  3. Store

    Extracted values are held as a structured record against the correct pay period and tax year.

  4. Reconcile

    Figures are compared across documents and periods, so gaps, duplicates and inconsistencies surface rather than pass unnoticed.

  5. Calculate

    Totals and derived figures are produced by explicit rules for the relevant tax year.

  6. Forecast

    Planned scenario tools will explore how changes in earnings and circumstances could affect the picture. Estimates must remain distinct from official figures.

  7. Explain

    Each result is presented with the record and the reasoning behind it, in plain language.

Approach

How it is built

The design principle is simple: AI reads documents, code performs calculations, official sources provide checks, and SLYP explains the result and its uncertainty.

  1. AI where reading is the hard part

    Automated document reading, classification and extraction handle the variation found in real records — different employers, formats, layouts and eras.

  2. Deterministic where accuracy is the hard part

    Calculations and validation are carried out by explicit, testable software rules, not generated by a language model.

  3. Rules tied to their period

    Thresholds, rates and allowances change between tax years, so the rules applied are versioned and matched to the period being calculated.

  4. Traceable to the source document

    Every figure stays linked to the record it was drawn from, so any result can be checked against the original document.

Records

Records SLYP may work with

SLYP is designed around the documents NHS staff already receive and retain.

  • Payslips
  • P45
  • P60
  • HMRC documents
  • TRS and ABS related records, where supported

Supported record types depend on the format and availability of the documents a person holds.
