Adjusted Net Income

3 Posts


Can anyone help, I’m really confused as to how I calculate my adjusted net income and concerned I’ve gone over the threshold for Child Benefit. I believe it’s gross wage minus pension contributions, but added complication is that I have a company car, which is not salary sacrifice. Do hypothetically, if I have a salary of £60,000, pension contributions of £6,000 a year, a company car which states a BIK of £330 on my payslip, but I pay £158 + £30 tax, how on earth do I work out net adjusted income, soooo confused

i think it’s gross plus BIK minus pension (the gross amount)
£60,000 + £3,960 - £6,000 = £57,960.

But yes employment benefits such as Co Car will apply. I believe it's the value on your P11D. Or are you saying you get a car allowance of £330 a month?
For two reasons, firstly you haven't actually contributed anything to the pension, your employer has. Secondly your P60 will already reflect the reduced taxable pay so deducting them would mean you have double counted them.
Same goes for net pay contributions, which you do pay, but are already reflected on the P60 taxable pay amount.
