£1,925 Teachers pay

andy1991

Hello fellow MSE’s - does anyone have any knowledge of how the £1,925 school teacher back pay works? My partner checked her pay this morning and out of the £1,925 nearly 70% has been deducted which seems ludicrous. (Pending payslip).

You probably need to wait for the payslip first.

Is this a lump sum payment?  It will be subject to Tax and NI and possible student loan deduction if she pays that

Yup it will all be taxed at 20%+, NI at the usual rates, Pension at the usual rates etc etc.

Nothing unusual. 

Also remember she wont have got all the £1925 today, she will have got 2/3rd of it (April through November is 8 months, two thirds of the year, so two thirds of the extra amount). The rest will come between December and March, at 1/12th of the extra amount per month.

I have come out with £690 (approx.) extra out of the extra £1283 I got today, after tax, NI, pension and SLC deductions.

I suspect she thinks she is getting ALL of the £1925 today. She isnt. She is getting two thirds of it.

I came out with about £700 extra this month after tax, pension & student loan.

Did the OP think it was going to be free from deductions ?

Suspect she thought she was getting the full £1925 this month.
