Overpaid National Insurance contributions?

in Cutting tax
For the last tax year I had a gross income of £11046.15. My P60 shows I had £666.95 deducted in NI contributions with a tax code of 603L. Some online tax calculators show it should be £617.23. Is this the correct amount?

NIC is calculated on a weekly or monthly basis, it is not cumulative like tax. You would need to calculate each week/month individually from your payslips.£705,000 raised by client groups in the past 18 mths :beer:0

You pay 11% on earnings over the primary threshold. For FY 2008/09, this was £105 per week, matching the tax code of 603L.
If you multiply the £105 by 52, you get £5,460.
If you deduct this from your £11,046.15 you get £5,586.15.
11% of this is £614.47 which is near enough the lower figure. So yes, it seems that you have a case. Some months may have 5 week's payment, others 4, but it should even out over the year I think.
Perhaps your payroll department/person can explain it to you, even if there is a good reason it will put your mind to rest.Who having known the diamond will concern himself with glass?
