How the tax is worked out
- £0 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 — at £195,000 it has gone entirely.
- £37,700 is taxed at the basic rate of 20%: £7,540.
- £87,440 is taxed at the higher rate of 40%: £34,976.
- £69,860 is taxed at the additional rate of 45%: £31,437.
- National Insurance is 8% of earnings between £12,570 and £50,270 and 2% above that: £5,911.
- A £1,000 pay rise, to £196,000, would add £530 a year to your take-home pay — £44 a month. You keep 53p of each extra pound.
