Tax Traps to Watch For
The 60% Marginal Tax Rate
Between £100,000 and £125,140, your Personal Allowance is reduced by £1 for every £2 you earn. That means you lose 60p of every extra pound.
High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC)
If you or your partner earn over £60,000, you may need to repay some or all of your Child Benefit. That's a steep drop in take-home pay.
Planning for a Bonus or Job Change?
Bonuses and commissions are often taxed heavily due to the "Month 1" emergency tax trap. Calculate your actual take-home and see how much you'll lose to tax.
