Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £48,913 to pay you £325,000. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £5.80 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
50.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 42.9% tax rate now rises to 50.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make £325,000 a year living in United Kingdom, you will be taxed £139,473. That means that your net pay will be £185,527 per year, or £15,461 per month. Your average tax rate is 42.9% 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
A £1,000 bonus will generate an extra £518 of net incomes. A £5,000 bonus will generate an extra £2,588 of net incomes.
