Hi
Do you have a link to an up to date calculator? This one appears to be from 2009!
Many thanks.
There is no up to date calculator. The rules changed a couple of years ago, if you have any excess of £20 or over then all of it goes to an IPA.:pB&SC No. 298

Actually there is, I got my OR to send me a copy of what allowances I have been allowed and she sent a printout from a spreadsheet that is different to that. On the spread sheet I was sent it has a box to select how many family members there is and then it gives the guidence figures for such a family at the right hand side.
There is a link to it at the top of this link

but it seems like its an internal document, as its an intranet address.0 -

Note how columns jump from H to AM. Highlight both columns, right click, unhide, to reveal all figures.0

Thats great that has all the allowances built into the spread sheet, should make it alot easier for people to see what they are and are not allowed.0

Looks like they have updated both spreadsheets recently with this years figures.

They were out of date a few weeks ago.

Hi all
I wonder if you can help. I am using this calculator and wondering if I should put my pre-tax (i.e. salary/12) or post-tax salary in the top income box?

Anyone know if there is a updated version of this with 2013 figures? The ones in this are a year old now and must have increased since.0
