D81 Income with overtime

bigstevex

We’re looking at the D81 form but can’t find guidance about the net figure, is it for your basic salary for that year or the previous year or expected for that year with or without overtime?  It’s a bit vague.

Guidance for completing table 9 9.A If you are employed take the figure from your most recent payslip. If you are self-employed you need to calculate the monthly average from the figures on your most recent HMRC tax statement

Ah, I’ve been misunderstanding that it was yearly income sorry

It's your average monthly income. So if you do overtime or get bonuses then include them. If you are an employee I would suggest that you look at your 'year to date' figure and divide that by the number of months to date and use that figure.
