    According to my last pay slip it's £5035 for the your personal allowance.

    yup.. then..

    22% on earnings over that allowance up to £33.3k, then 40% on everything over £33k..

    Don't forget the N.I. contributions.

    It used to be that as the 40% tax kicked in the NI contribs. stopped...now that serial thief Gordon Brown has removed the ceiling on NI for 1% :-(

    not really ikonia, its DAMN anoying. I recon i'll be giving £8,000+ next year, for what, a goverment that didn't even educate me when i was in key stage 3, because i was too busy on NHS waiting lists? A governement who wouldn't give me any help towards paying my rent if i was in between jobs (like an insurance i take out)? A government who has a pensions crisis brewing but wants to tax me because i have the ordasity to want to save money.............................................

    NI is the one thats bugged the hell out of me for the last few years, as i've been earning well under £4700 personal allowance last year, but in one week earn't £360. So got heavily taxed by NI.

    http://www.listentotaxman.com/ very very useful.

    Pisses me off how much of my basic wage will goto the government, plus over a grand a year repaying student loan

    A mate of mine was saying thou you pay less NI if you live in london, i think they called it a london ward? But i can't find anything about that, anyone know?

    but that asside, i favour a flat rate tax, nice and simple.

    There's still a 10%-ish rate between 5K and 8K isn't there?

    Anyway, I intend to edge into the higher rate bracket this year, and I'll be proud to do so.

    Is there a online caluclator where i can put a figure in and it'll work out what the "pic up" amount once all the TAX has been taken out of it.
    If not, could anyone guesstimate how much TAX / NI ect.. would come out of 30K/year

    NI is 10% of evrything bar the first grand, so thats 2.9k, then 22% of the stuff above 10k, so theres another 4.4, and 10% of the stuff under ten but above the threshold, so prob about another 7/800 there. plus 10% of everything if youre paying student loan off.

    Edit, that link is for 2001, so the system has changed a fair bit since then, mainly the removal of the cap on NI

    http://www.listentotaxman.com/ slightly better than the one david linked has student loan and other support too.

    I really should be revising, but moaning about tax is more fun.

    If anyone is in a pension scheme theses should be deducted before tax is calculated, so if you're on 36K and can pay in say 10% you'll be out of the 40% tax bracket.

    36000 - 3600 -> 32400

    If you're not in a pension scheme, then think about it!
