The Sneaky 60% Marginal Tax Rate
Between £100,000 and £125,140, your Personal Allowance is reduced by £1 for every £2 you earn. This creates an effective marginal tax rate of 60%.
High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC)
If you or your partner earn over £60,000, you may need to repay some or all of your Child Benefit. This creates a tax cliff.
Planning for a Bonus or Job Change?
Bonuses and commissions are often taxed heavily due to the "Month 1" emergency tax trap. Calculate your actual take-home and see how much you'll lose to tax.
Calculate Your Bonus Tax →1. Enter your Gross Salary: This is your total annual pay before any tax or deductions.
2. Check your Tax Code: The default is 1257L (standard for 2025/26). If yours is different (check your payslip or P45), enter it to get accurate results.
3. Advanced Settings: Click "Advanced Tax Settings" to add:
- Pension Contributions: Select "Salary Sacrifice" (deducted before tax) or "Relief at Source" (deducted from net pay).
- Student Loans: Select your plan type(s).
- Taxable Benefits: Add company cars or health insurance values.
Small differences are common. Your payslip is calculated per pay period and can change month to month.
- Tax code changes: HMRC may adjust your code for benefits, underpayments, or multiple jobs.
- Mid‑year start or job change: You may be on an emergency or Month 1/Week 1 basis.
- Pension type: Salary sacrifice reduces taxable pay; Relief at Source is taken from net pay.
- Pay frequency: Weekly/monthly payslips won’t match an annual average exactly.
- Benefits in kind: Company car/medical benefits add to taxable income but not NI.
