Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £135 to pay you £900. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £6.24 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
54.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 47.3% tax rate now rises to 54.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make £1,872,000 a year living in United Kingdom, you will be taxed £885,901. That means that your net pay will be £986,099 per year, or £82,175 per month. Your average tax rate is 47.3% 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.
