Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £3 to pay you £19. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £3.68 goes to the government.

Real tax rate

31.8%

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.1% tax rate now rises to 31.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 10.7% higher than what it seemed at first.

Summary

If you make £39,957 a year living in United Kingdom, you will be taxed £9,104. That means that your net pay will be £30,852 per year, or £2,571 per month. Your average tax rate is 22.8% and your marginal tax rate is 44.8%. 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 £44.8, hence, your net pay will only increase by £55.2.
