Real tax rate
52.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45.5% tax rate now rises to 52.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make £629,460 a year living in United Kingdom, you will be taxed £286,375. That means that your net pay will be £343,085 per year, or £28,590 per month. Your average tax rate is 45.5% 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.
