How it is worked out
- Your tax-free Personal Allowance is £12,570.00. That leaves £87,430.00 to tax.
- £37,700.00 is taxed at 20% = £7,540.00.
- £49,730.00 is taxed at 40% = £19,892.00.
- National Insurance is 8% of £37,700.00 (your pay between £12,570 and £50,270) = £3,016.00, plus 2% of the £49,730.00 above £50,270 = £994.60.
- Take-home: £100,000.00 minus £27,432.00 tax minus £4,010.60 National Insurance = £68,557.40.
Part of your salary is above £50,270, so it is taxed at the 40% higher rate. A pension paid by salary sacrifice or before tax can bring some of it back to 20%.
At £100,000 you are right at the edge of the £100k tax trap: every £1 more costs you 50p of tax-free allowance, an effective 60% tax rate.
