Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £376,250 to pay you £2,500,000. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £6.26 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
54.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 47.6% tax rate now rises to 54.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make £2,500,000 a year living in United Kingdom, you will be taxed £1,188,911. That means that your net pay will be £1,311,089 per year, or £109,257 per month. Your average tax rate is 47.6% and your marginal tax rate is 48.3%. 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 £48.25, hence, your net pay will only increase by £51.75.
Bonus Example
