Just under the Scottish higher rate
On a standard full-time week, £22 an hour stops less than a thousand pounds of salary short of the Scottish higher rate. All of the Scottish taxed pay is charged at the starter, basic and intermediate rates, and the Scottish take-home is a little under a hundred pounds a year below the English one.
Moving to 40 hours changes that. The yearly pay of £45,760 goes well into the Scottish higher band at 42%, so a Scottish worker keeps noticeably less of the extra hours than a worker in England does. The page for a higher rate of pay shows the gap between the nations opening up.
