How it's worked out
Your personal allowance is £2,570 (reduced because you earn over £100,000 — you lose £1 of allowance for every £2 above it). You pay 20% income tax on earnings above the allowance up to £50,270, 40% up to £125,140 and 45% beyond that. Employee National Insurance is 8% on earnings between £12,570 and £50,270 and 2% above.
