    Mine is 603L, I think if you have an emergency code the letter at the end would be different, so it looks ok.

    It's not an emergency code but it's above the normal code of 603L. Are you receiving any allowance for uniform washing for example?

    Assuming that your tax code is correct, the tax paid appears right.

    As jem16 suggests, a possible explanation of your tax code is that you have £60 job expenses which may be a standard rate for your type of work.
