How tax and National Insurance are worked out on £110,000
- Your Personal Allowance is cut to £7,570 because you earn over £100,000 (you lose £1 of allowance for every £2 above that).
- £37,700 is taxed at 20% (basic rate), which is £7,540.
- £64,730 is taxed at 40% (higher rate), which is £25,892.
- National Insurance is 8% of the £37,700 you earn between £12,570 and £50,270, plus 2% of the £59,730 above that: £4,210.60 in total.

The £100,000 tax trap
Between £100,000 and £125,140 you lose £1 of Personal Allowance for every £2 you earn. That makes the rate on this slice of income 60%, or 62% with National Insurance. At £110,000 your allowance is £7,570. Salary sacrifice into a pension is the usual way to bring income back under £100,000. Going over £100,000 can also end eligibility for Tax-Free Childcare and funded childcare hours.
What a pay rise is worth
Out of the next £1,000 you earn, you would keep £380 after tax and National Insurance.
What you cost your employer
On top of your salary, your employer pays 15% National Insurance on earnings above £5,000 a year, which is £15,750 at £110,000. So employing you costs at least £125,750 a year before any workplace pension contribution. Small employers may be able to offset some of this with the Employment Allowance.
