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 £112,000 your allowance is £6,570. 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 £16,050 at £112,000. So employing you costs at least £128,050 a year before any workplace pension contribution. Small employers may be able to offset some of this with the Employment Allowance.
