How the tax is worked out
- £10,070 is your tax-free Personal Allowance. It is smaller than the usual £12,570 because it shrinks by £1 for every £2 earned over £100,000.
- £37,700 is taxed at the basic rate of 20%: £7,540.
- £57,230 is taxed at the higher rate of 40%: £22,892.
- National Insurance is 8% of earnings between £12,570 and £50,270 and 2% above that: £4,111.
- A £1,000 pay rise, to £106,000, would add £380 a year to your take-home pay — £32 a month. You keep 38p of each extra pound.
