What this means
- You are a Higher rate (40%) taxpayer. Your effective rate of tax and National Insurance combined is 31.4%.
- At 37.5 hours a week, £100,000 works out to about £51.28 an hour before tax.
- A 5% salary-sacrifice pension contribution (£5,000) would reduce both Income Tax and National Insurance, so your take-home falls by less than the amount saved.
