Where £14 an hour sits in the tax bands
The personal allowance of £12,570 covers the first part of the year's pay. Everything above it, up to the top of the basic rate band, is taxed at 20%. At £14 an hour the pay stays well inside that band, so income tax is £2,944.20 and there is no higher rate tax to pay.
National Insurance of £1,178.40 is the other deduction. Together the two leave £1,931.45 a month. The salary after tax page closest to this figure goes through the student loan plans as well.
Part time at £14 and the Scottish figure
Twenty hours a week at £14 brings £14,560 a year, a couple of thousand pounds above the personal allowance. In Scotland, a full-time worker on £14 keeps £23,217.07, which is slightly more than the English figure because the Scottish starter rate is lower.
