This also has functionalities to format and calculate the NI. =head1 METHODS =head2 validate() This method accepts National Insurance number and validate it against the UK format. For more information please visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Insurance_UK use strict; use warnings; use Algorithm::NIN; my ($ni, $status); $ni = 'AA123456C'; $status = Algorithm::NIN::validate($ni); # or $ni = 'AA 12 34 56 C'; $status = Algorithm::NIN::validate($ni); =cut sub validate { my $ni = shift; return 0 unless defined $ni; chomp($ni); $ni =~ s/\s+//g; croak(_error($TOO_SHORT)) if (length($ni) < 8); croak(_error($TOO_LONG)) if (length($ni) > 9); croak(_error($INVALID_FIRST_LETTER)) if ($ni =~ m/^(D|F|I|Q|U|V)/i); croak(_error($INVALID_SECOND_LETTER)) if ($ni =~ m/^[A-Z](D|F|I|O|Q|U|V)/i); croak(_error($FIRST_TWO_LETTERS_INVALID)) if ($ni =~ m/^(BG|GB|NK|KN|NT|ZZ)/i); croak(_error($LAST_LETTER_INVALID)) if ($ni =~ m/(E|G-L|N-Z)$/i); croak(_error($MISSING_NUMBERS)) if ($ni !~ m/[A-Z][A-Z]\d\d\d\d\d\d/i); croak(_error($INVALID_TEMP_NUMBER)) if (($ni =~ m/^TN/i) && ($ni !~ m/[M|F]$/i)); if (($ni =~ m/^TN/i) && ($ni =~ m/[M|F]$/i)) { $ni =~ /^TN(\d\d)(\d\d)(\d\d)/; croak(_error($INVALID_DOB)) if (($1 > 31) || ($2 > 12) || ($3 == 0)); } return 1; } =head2 format() This method accepts National Insurance number and returns back in the pair format. For example 'AA1234546C' would become 'AA 12 34 56 C' as it appears on NI card. use strict; use warnings; use Algorithm::NIN; my ($ni); $ni = 'AA123456C'; $ni = Algorithm::NIN::format($ni); =cut sub format { my $ni = shift; if (validate($ni)) { my @ni = split(//,$ni); (scalar(@ni) == 9) ? return sprintf("%s%s %d%d %d%d %d%d %s", $ni[0],$ni[1], $ni[2],$ni[3], $ni[4],$ni[5], $ni[6],$ni[7], $ni[8]) : return sprintf("%s%s %d%d %d%d %d%d", $ni[0],$ni[1], $ni[2],$ni[3], $ni[4],$ni[5], $ni[6],$ni[7]); } return; } =head2 calculateNI() Returns NI contributions (approx) according to HMRC website http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/rates/nic.htm It only covers fiscal year 2009-10, 2010-11 & 2011-12.I don't claim the number you get back is exactly what you see in your pay slip. This is simply my attempt to understand the internal of mathematics behind the NI contributions. Suggestion to improve the functionality is highly appreciated.
