Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £145,986 to pay you £970,008. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £6.15 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
53.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 46.5% tax rate now rises to 53.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make £970,008 a year living in United Kingdom, you will be taxed £450,690. That means that your net pay will be £519,318 per year, or £43,277 per month. Your average tax rate is 46.5% 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.
