Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £14,869 to pay you £98,800. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £6.18 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
53.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 46.8% tax rate now rises to 53.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 6.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make £1,185,600 a year living in United Kingdom, you will be taxed £554,713. That means that your net pay will be £630,887 per year, or £52,574 per month. Your average tax rate is 46.8% 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.
