Real tax rate
42.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.8% tax rate now rises to 42.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make £97,500 a year living in United Kingdom, you will be taxed £32,959. That means that your net pay will be £64,541 per year, or £5,378 per month. Your average tax rate is 33.8% and your marginal tax rate is 43.3%. 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 £43.25, hence, your net pay will only increase by £56.75.
