Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £715 to pay you £4,750. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £5.02 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
43.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 35.2% tax rate now rises to 43.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make £114,000 a year living in United Kingdom, you will be taxed £40,095. That means that your net pay will be £73,905 per year, or £6,159 per month. Your average tax rate is 35.2% 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.
Bonus Example
A £1,000 bonus will generate an extra £568 of net incomes. A £5,000 bonus will generate an extra £2,838 of net incomes.
