Hows that work - as to pay £450 tax you'd be on roughly £30k, but at that wage NI would be £225?

It'll be the same %, so wont be a different band - but obviously wont be the same actual figure.

I wish to be in a position to be moaning about the higher tax bracket. Although I'd defiantly be moaning about it if I was.

So I have got the right end of the stick when I see is a if you earn 60k, up to 40k is 20% tax (or whateverr the rate is, I don't know), but for the 40k to 60k you get taxed 40% just on that 20k?

0-6035 is zero rate
6036 to 34800 is 20%
34800+ 40%
Or something like that.

as pointed out above, that sort of view is wrong...unless you feel earning only 60% of anything over £40k isnt enough.

Shit, it's £34800? Damn, thought I was going to be under it on my next payrise! My overtime this year has cleared that, yet I haven't been taxed 40%?

The band goes up to approx £37k next financial year so you may be OK.

Depends how far above the bracket you go. I did a load of overtime last year, had a bonus etc, and ended up with very little extra after everyone had taken their slice.
German tax works differently to English though, strange bands.

At the end of the day, you'll still earn approx 60% of your 'wage' on any any amount earned over £40k. So it depends how much you are on, but to me 60% is better than nothing!!

Exactly Cosmo, people talk about it as if you're losing out, you're still earning, so how is that losing out?

You get a tax free amount of around 6k, its called a personal allowance. So basically you would start getting taxed 40% on anything that you make after £40800. Its going up to £43400 starting in April though

im sure NI is only 1% once you pass the UEL so combined your looking at 41% upto the UEL will be 31%
