Help with high income benefit charge and self assessment

foxmeister

The figures on my March/April 2018 payslip are as follows;

Total NI : 4645.46
Total Superannuation : 5773.35
Total Pay : 56864.84
Total Taxable Pay : 51091.49
Total Pensionable Pay : 42956.50
Total Pay Subject to NI : 56864.84
Total Tax : 9656.80

I'm a Police Officer and claim Child Benefit but expecting I'll have to pay some of it back before the end of January ... Please could someone advise me which figure I put into the HMRC calculator?
Thank you for helping.

This is the important bit,

Total Superannuation : 5773.35
Total Pay : 56864.84
Total Taxable Pay : 51091.49

HMRC are correct, you cannot deduct the pension contributions in the calculator because they have already been deducted in calculating the taxable income.

You just need to use £51091.49 as far as taxable income with this employer is concerned.

If you had paid something extra into a personal pension as well then that could be included.

You could make contributions to a personal pension.
