Hoping someone in the know will help with a maternity pay query.

I thought I had it all planned but have just seen that SMP is taxed and National Insuranced. Does anyone know roughly what it will work out as after tax? I now have a feeling my budget isn't going to balance. :eek: and I am beginning to panic.

I have looked on the gov website and am just getting more confused.

It will kind of depend on 2 things- how your employer does payroll, and how much you usually earn. If you are over a higher rate tax threshold usually, then you will find you are paying alot less tax so you will see a bigger difference- but payroll influences this. Some companies operate on an adjusted rolling basis, which means the amount you will get will change month on month, so as you come in under your usual tax estimate for the month, you get more in your pay each month, others operate on a fixed basis, so you'll pay more than you should, but then get a refund of over paid tax at end of year. Really depends on how payroll is done, mine is the former, rolling method, my BFF works for a charity who do the latter.

Dont forget to add the wooo wooo £20 pwk Child benefit that you should def get until 2013 when it becomes threshold tested.

You cant blame me Im not even on the list!!!!! Now.. move over coming through...

Best go ring the hossie and see which cons. is on... if it is the evil one I am NOT going.. and I am absolutely not joking!

Kandboys

I am never that lucky and go early!! Why, why, why?! I always go over by 2 weeks. So not fair. Lazy boys. That's why I'm sulking so much about having a c-section at 41 weeks - cos I don't want another late one! How's it going PP? x
