Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £488 to pay you £3,240. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £5.30 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
46.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 38% tax rate now rises to 46.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make £168,480 a year living in United Kingdom, you will be taxed £63,972. That means that your net pay will be £104,508 per year, or £8,709 per month. Your average tax rate is 38.0% and your marginal tax rate is 47.0%. 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 £46.96, hence, your net pay will only increase by £53.04.
Bonus Example
A £1,000 bonus will generate an extra £530 of net incomes. A £5,000 bonus will generate an extra £2,652 of net incomes.
