How the calculation works
- Tax code 1257L only. This assumes the standard £12,570 personal allowance. Other tax codes, student loans, benefits in kind and Class 2 and 4 National Insurance are not included.
- Allowance taper: the personal allowance falls by £1 for every £2 of income above £100,000 and is nil from £125,140. At £110,000 it is £7,570.
- Scotland: Scottish taxpayers pay the Scottish rates on non-savings income. National Insurance is the same everywhere in the UK. England, Wales and Northern Ireland use the same bands here.
- Pension: the pension option is salary sacrifice. The amount comes off your pay before income tax and National Insurance. Pensions paid under relief at source are not covered yet.
- Cost to employer: your employer pays 15% National Insurance on pay above £5,000 a year. The cost to employer is your gross pay plus that amount.
This is an estimate for general information. National Insurance is worked out on annual pay, so payroll figures worked month by month can differ slightly. Check your figure with HMRC's take-home pay estimator.
