    monthly means monthly
    HMRC clearly say monthly is 453

    pension goes like this

    gross salary
    less pension
    is taxable salary
    less personal allowance of 6039
    then next 34800 at 20%
    then 40%

    so yes you can think of it as your personal allowance is 6039 plus pension if you wish
  • hi im new on here and not sure how to post a new topic, but as this ones about tax etc thought i would quickly ask my question on here, hope thats ok...
    so basically i was waandering if anyone could tell me if im being taxed right as i have just started a new job' heres the figures from my latest payslip
    total gross pay TD 5256.24
    gross for tax TD 5256.24
    Tax paid TD 246.00
    earnings for NI TD 2072.00
    national insurance TD 128.70

    this month i got taxed 140.40 and national insurance was 82.61 im a single parent and my tax code is 603L, I only ask because ive been on various websites and the figures they give me are alot less than im paying.

    for your gross pay then your tax is correct
    to check NI needs your monthly figures I'm afraid

    this months deductions are consistant with a gross of about 1204

    to post a new thread ..look at the bottom left of the bar

    it works this way

    although you are allowed £6035 per year before tax, they spread it throughout the year so you get 6035/12 = 503 per month approx

    so for the 8 months april to november you are allowed 6035 x 8/12 = £4,023

    your salary for those months was 5254
    so you pay tax on 5254-4023 = 1,232 at 20% i.e. £246

    NI is based on monthly salary so needs each month salary to work it out but I assume you have only recently started working
