How tax and National Insurance are worked out on £67,000
- The first £12,570 is your Personal Allowance, so it is tax-free.
- £37,700 is taxed at 20% (basic rate), which is £7,540.
- £16,730 is taxed at 40% (higher rate), which is £6,692.
- National Insurance is 8% of the £37,700 you earn between £12,570 and £50,270, plus 2% of the £16,730 above that: £3,350.60 in total.
- £67,000 minus £14,232 tax and £3,350.60 NI leaves £49,417.40 a year.
Which tax band you are in
Everything you earn above £50,270 is taxed at 40%, but National Insurance on that part drops to 2%. So the top £16,730 of your salary is taxed at 42% in total, while the rest is taxed at 28% (20% tax plus 8% NI).
Child Benefit
If you or your partner claims Child Benefit and you are the higher earner, the High Income Child Benefit Charge applies at this salary. You pay back 1% of the Child Benefit for every £200 of income over £60,000. At £67,000 that is 35% of it. The charge is based on adjusted net income, so pension contributions lower it.
What a pay rise is worth
Out of the next £1,000 you earn, you would keep £580 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 £9,300 at £67,000. So employing you costs at least £76,300 a year before any workplace pension contribution. Small employers may be able to offset some of this with the Employment Allowance.
