    Chrisbur, if you think both figures are low, then it is difficult to take you seriously.

    I might be happy to divulge details, provided you are a professional.

    I cannot in all honesty say that I am a professional so will bow out of this one. Best of luck getting it sorted.

    I've no idea. Is it relevant?

    Do bear in mind that it's the same every month.

    The pension percentage is very relevant.

    From the figures earlier in the post, with
    0% Pension he has been overpaid by £11747
    5% pension £11183
    10% pension £10619

    All approx calculations, assuming no other tax friendly benefits, and no student loan payments etc.

    Your hubby's calculation looks about right on the assumption he has a 10% pension contribution.
  • This happened in April? When did it all come to light?

    Interesting, any chance of sharing the details of your calculation?
    I appreciate that they are approximate but a rough idea would be great.


    So far we have three calculations ( one from the employer, one from the employee and now yours) but no-one has shown how the figures were arrived at.

    Without the rest of the numbers no one has a chance.

    edit: below is obvious nonsense for the 22k line

    looking at the basic calc for tax and NI. month 1

    on standard tax code.

    gross...........tax...............ni...........net
    [STRIKE]£22,782.34...£11795.97...£844.92...£16141.45
    [/STRIKE]

    £22,782.34...£9095.97...£724.92...£12961.45
    £2,278.24.... £288.98.......£193.83..£1795.43

    [STRIKE]net over is £14,346.02[/STRIKE]

    net £11166 difference( on month 1 you loose the personal allowance and get some taxed at 45%)

    So both the company and yours are [STRIKE]wellunder[/STRIKE] different as has been pointed out allready needs more info.

    Not 100% confident of the figure for £22782.34

    gross...........tax...............ni...........net

    One thing to know, if you have paid NI on one figure, for example £1000 and it should have been £100, you can't get a refund. I had this once when I was overpaid; working out the correct figure I should have been paid was easy and if repayment is done in the same tax year, the tax element corrects itself. However, my argument with payroll is that I was overpaid x amount, and paid NI on it, but they wanted all of it back and that the extra NI I paid was just too bad. Admittedly it was a small amount, but on your sort of money....?!! Good luck.
