Need a little advice, my take home pay is different to whats calculated...

MangyDog

So I've been using this https://www.thesalarycalculator.co.uk/salary.php to calculate my take home pay estimates...
I earn 38K a year. According to the calculator my PAYE should be £423.83 and NI £169.53

But the actual deductions were £441.20 and £176.49

Not wildly different but nearly a weeks shopping. 

But I also have a NEST payment of 109.37 and my total income this month came to £2527.11, but the calculator brings it to £ 2,573.31.... Tbh Im finding this odd discrepancies more confusing than troubling. I dont think the work place is doing anything dodgy, just things are being calculated differently... 

Whats your thoughts?  Should I be worried?

You shouldn't be worried but unless you know how the calculator is built it's difficult to get the correct answer.

Does your payslip show your taxable and NIC'ble pay as £3166.66?

What is your tax code?

I'd suggest leaving it, it's not doing any harm and no-one is going to think any the less of you as a result

Not wasting time, well worth it given you have had a £1,000 pay rise this afternoon 😉
