Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer £7,525 to pay you £50,000. In other words, every time you spend £10 of your hard-earned money, £3.99 goes to the government.

Real tax rate

34.7%

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.9% tax rate now rises to 34.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 9.8% higher than what it seemed at first.

Summary

If you make £50,000 a year living in United Kingdom, you will be taxed £12,444. That means that your net pay will be £37,556 per year, or £3,130 per month. Your average tax rate is 24.9% and your marginal tax rate is 42.7%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of £100 in your salary will be taxed £42.7, hence, your net pay will only increase by £57.3.

Bonus Example
