Scotland at £14.50 an hour

On a 37.5 hours week, a Scottish taxpayer earning £14.50 keeps £23,919.07. The whole of the taxed pay stays below the Scottish intermediate rate, so the lower starter rate gives a small lead over England.

On a 40 hours week the yearly pay of £30,160 goes past the point where Scotland's intermediate rate of 21% begins, so the top slice of pay is taxed one point more than in England. The amount involved is small, but it means a Scottish worker keeps a little less of each extra hour than an English one.

Tax and National Insurance at £14.50 an hour

Income tax for the year in England is £3,139.20, all at the basic rate. National Insurance is £1,256.40, charged at 8% on pay above £12,570. That leaves £1,989.95 in an average month.

On 40 hours in England the take-home rises to £25,236.60. Of the extra two and a half hours of pay each week, a little over seven tenths reaches the worker once tax and National Insurance are paid. The after tax page for a salary close to the 40 hours figure shows where student loans begin to take a share.

Part-time pay at £14.50

Twenty hours a week at £14.50 gives £15,080 a year. Tax and National Insurance take only a small amount at that level because most of the pay is inside the personal allowance. For three or four days a week, or any other pattern, the hourly pay converter takes the hours you actually work.
