Q1: What is the current personal allowance for Income Tax?
A: For the 2024/25 tax year, the personal allowance is £12,570. You don't pay Income Tax on earnings below this threshold.
Q2: How are National Insurance rates calculated?
A: NI is calculated on earnings above £12,570 at 8% up to £50,270, and 2% on earnings above this threshold for the 2024/25 tax year.
Q3: Are pension contributions tax-deductible?
A: Yes, pension contributions are typically made from pre-tax income, reducing your taxable income for both Income Tax and National Insurance calculations.
Q4: Does this calculator account for student loan repayments?
A: This version focuses on core deductions. Student loan repayments would be an additional deduction from your net salary.
Q5: How often should I recalculate my salary?
A: Recalculate whenever there are changes to your salary, tax thresholds (typically each tax year in April), or pension contributions.
