£100,000 Salary After Tax UK

About this salary

£100,000 is one of the most watched UK tax thresholds because it is the point where the personal allowance starts to be withdrawn by £1 for every £2 of income above the limit. That creates a well-known effective 60% marginal rate between £100,000 and £125,140. This is also the salary level where pension contributions or salary sacrifice are most commonly discussed as a way to bring adjusted net income back below the threshold.
