How this was worked out

1. Salary: £67,000
2. Personal allowance: £12,570. Payroll applies it as tax code 1257L, which gives £12,579 of tax-free pay.
3. Taxable income: £67,000 − £12,579 = £54,421
4. Basic rate: £37,700 × 20% = £7,540
5. Higher rate: £16,721 × 40% = £6,688.40
6. Income tax: £14,228.40
7. National Insurance: (£50,270 − £12,570) × 8% = £3,016, plus (£67,000 − £50,270) × 2% = £334.60, total £3,350.60
8. Take-home pay: £67,000 − £14,228.40 − £3,350.60 = £49,421

Two bands of income tax

The higher rate slice of your taxable pay is taxed at 40% and yields close to six thousand seven hundred pounds. The basic rate band yields a little more. Total income tax is £14,228.40, and National Insurance is £3,350.60. Together they take a little over a quarter of your gross pay. On the pay above £50,270 you pay National Insurance at 2%, about three hundred and thirty pounds. Your employer pays £9,300 of its own.

Scotland at sixty seven thousand pounds

Scottish taxpayers on £67,000 pay income tax of £16,118.27. That leaves them £1,889.87 a year behind the rest of the UK. Around twenty three thousand pounds of the salary sits in the Scottish higher band at 42%. The advanced rate of 45% starts above £75,009, eight thousand pounds higher. Each extra thousand pounds leaves a Scottish taxpayer £560, as the marginal rate there is 44%.

Pension and loans

Salary sacrifice of five per cent puts £3,350 into your pension at a take-home cost of £1,943. A net pay scheme would cost £67 more. Because pay for tax stays in the higher rate band after the sacrifice, the full contribution saves tax at 40%. Your employer's National Insurance drops by £502.50 as well. On a Plan 5 loan you repay £3,780 a year and take home £45,641. Plan 4 repays £2,988 and Plan 2 repays £3,385. The page one step down and the seventy thousand pound page show the same rates.
