    Dear Experts,

    This thread is really informative.
    My Annual pay is £44k. I was on 522L last year and on 543L this year, Class: A. the net pay reduced £54 for this month(For the month April £2578 and for the month feb/march £ 2633.36 ).

    After Googling , i found that net pay will raise 0.90% for that salary range.

    Please let me know, if i am mssing something.


    Thanks in advance

    Did you pay £125 in total? :confused:

    If not, maybe you could give more specific figures.
