Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £5,034 to pay you £33,446. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £3.58 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.7% tax rate now rises to 31.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make £33,446 a year living in United Kingdom, you will be taxed £6,939. That means that your net pay will be £26,507 per year, or £2,209 per month. Your average tax rate is 20.8% 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.
