How it adds up

What happens to a £35,000 salary

  • Your first £12,570 is tax-free (the Personal Allowance).
  • The top slice of a £35,000 salary is taxed at the basic rate (20%) in England, Wales or Northern Ireland.
  • National Insurance is 8% of pay above £12,570: £1,794 a year.
  • A £1,000 pay rise would add £720 to your take-home pay (a 28% combined marginal rate of tax and NI).
  • Paying 5% of salary (£1,750) into a pension by salary sacrifice would cut take-home pay by only £1,260, because it comes out before tax and NI.
  • In Scotland the same salary takes home £28,705, £15 less a year, because Scotland sets its own Income Tax bands. National Insurance is the same everywhere.
