Hi, if I make net pay pension contributions such that my taxable pay is £12570, am I right in assuming that I have both the full £5k starter rate for savings and £1k savings allowance available ?

Thanks.

    Yes.  But are you 100% certain you understand pension contribution methods.

    Net pay contributions aren't something you usually "make", they are part of your employers payroll process.

    If your P60 is going to show taxable pay of £12,570 and you have no other non savings non dividend income (other earnings, P11D benefits, rental income profit etc) then yes, you will get the full savings starter rate band.

    Or £3,740 of it if you have applied for Marriage Allowance.
