    your pension and you pay are worked out separately by your pension provider and your employer respectively.
    However, they are linked via your tax codes

    so for your pension you have your full tax allowance of 6035

    no NI on pensions so only tax worked out so:
    pension = 21319
    less tax allowance of 6035 (ie. tax code 603L)
    so you pay at 20% of 15,284 ie. tax of £3,057
    so take home is 18,262 pa or 1522 per month


    your employment has NI at 11% on monthly amounts over £453
    and tax at 20% on the full amount (i.e. tax code BR)

    so monthly pay of 1685
    tax 20% of 1685 = £337
    NI 11% of monthly ove 453 i.e. 11% of (1685-453) = 135
    so take home monthly is 1212
