Monthly NET
Hourly rate
Your £45,000 salary explained
You told us that you are earning £45,000 a year. Now let's see how your net pay is calculated from this sum.
Personal allowance
First thing to consider is the fact that you'll have a personal allowance of 12,500 a year.This means that for the first £12,500 from your yearly gross salary you won't pay any tax. You'll only start paying tax once your earnings go above that sum, and only for the amount that is above that sum.
Your taxable amount
Therefore, if we deduct the personal allowance from the yearly £45,000 salary, you'll have a taxable amount of £32,500.
Amount liable for NI
You also have a national insurance threshold on your salary, which meant that you won't pay NI for the first £9,500 from your yearly salary. This means that, according to our calculations, only £35,500 of your yearly earnings will be liable for National Insurance.
Your tax
You will pay a total of £6,500 in taxes in the tax year Apr 2020 - Apr 2021.
Your National Insurance
You will pay a total of £4,260 in national insurance in the tax year Apr 2020 - Apr 2021.
Your monthly NET income
Your monthly net pay will be £2,853. This is the amount that gets paid in your bank by your employer every month.
Your hourly rate
Your hourly rate (as advertised by employers on job boards) will be £21.63. This amount is calculated by assuming that you are working 40 hours/week.
