Real tax rate
20.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 8.9% tax rate now rises to 20.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 11.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make £17,150 a year living in United Kingdom, you will be taxed £1,521. That means that your net pay will be £15,629 per year, or £1,302 per month. Your average tax rate is 8.9% and your marginal tax rate is 33.3%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of £100 in your salary will be taxed £33.25, hence, your net pay will only increase by £66.75.
