Deduction s

Tax 208.40
Ni -A 161.79
Pension fixed 255.00

Please help!! Thanks

You would give them the £2,020 monthly figure. Therefore £24,000 as your annual figure.

They've done the NI calculation based on monthly gross pay of £2,020 so that's why I'd use that figure.

Your pension contributions should be on top of your monthly pay. You should have a take home payment of around £1,650.

The figures you give are estimates anyway until you get your P60 at the end of the year and notify tax credit next year of the actual amount. You wouldn't want to have an overpayment and less money paid to you next year.
