Have I been paying too much tax?

in Cutting tax
I am getting really confused!
I started a new job at a new company on 1st June 2021 - part time, lower pay, less hours than my previous full time job. My total pay from June 2021 in my new job until end of tax year was £11,556.30. My first months pay I was taxed £238.60 - then every month after that I was taxed £87.20 until March 2022
Fast forward to my first pay this tax year (pay day was today) I have been taxed for this first month, £240.60
My pay for a full year this year is £13,916 My tax account on Gov.uk says my estimated income tax for the year is £269 - so how have I been taxed nearly all the years tax in one go?
I am going to call them but I don't want to look stupid? I have looked on tax calculators and they all seem to calculate I should be paying £22 tax each month?
Can anyone please help with some advice?
Lots of thanks!

You need to provide the details from your April payslip for anyone to help.
Taxable payTax deductedTax codePayment datePay period (month or week number) if shown

Looks like your tax record is showing two employments so you have been taxed at basic rate.
Does your personal tax account still show you employed by your previous employer?0
