Your £88,500 income explained

We know from your input that your total income for the year 2019 / 2020 is £88,500. Let's break-down this sum and see how we've calculated your tax, NI, and monthly net salary.

Personal allowance

Everyone earning an income in the UK has a personal allowance -- usually the first few thousands of pounds (a year) from your salary -- that you don't have to pay tax on. For the tax year April 2019 /April 2020, this personal allowance is £12,500.

This means that for the first £12,500 that you are earning, you will pay no tax. Please note that you still have to pay National Insurance, as National Insurance has different allowances. We'll get to this soon.

Your taxable amount

Therefore, if we deduct the personal allowance from the yearly £88,500 salary, you’ll have a taxable amount of £76,000.

Amount liable for NI

You also have a national insurance threshold on your salary, which means that you won’t pay NI for the first £8,632 from your yearly salary. This means that, according to our calculations, only £79,868 of your yearly earnings will be liable for National Insurance.
