How UK Income Tax Works

In the UK, most people have a Personal Allowance of £12,570, which is the amount of income you don't have to pay tax on. Anything above this is taxed at different rates depending on which 'tax band' your income falls into.

20% Basic Rate

On income between £12,571 and £50,270

40% Higher Rate

On income between £50,271 and £125,140

What is National Insurance?

National Insurance (NI) contributions qualify you for certain benefits and the State Pension. For the 2024/25 tax year, the main rate for employees is 8% on earnings between £12,570 and £50,270, and 2% on earnings above that.

Pro Tip: Reduce your Tax

Increasing your pension contributions via"Salary Sacrifice" reduces your taxable income, meaning you pay less Income Tax and National Insurance overall.
