Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £99.78 to pay you £663. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £3.62 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.1% tax rate now rises to 31.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make £34,476 a year living in United Kingdom, you will be taxed £7,282. That means that your net pay will be £27,194 per year, or £2,266 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.1% and your marginal tax rate is 33.3%. 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 £33.25, hence, your net pay will only increase by £66.75.
Bonus Example
A £1,000 bonus will generate an extra £668 of net incomes. A £5,000 bonus will generate an extra £3,338 of net incomes.
