How the tax is worked out
The first £12,570 is covered by the Personal Allowance, reduced for incomes over £100,000. Income Tax on £115,000 is £36,432.00 and employee National Insurance is £4,310.60, taking 35.4% of your gross pay in total. On each extra £100 you earn at this level, about £62 goes in tax and National Insurance.
Because your income is over £100,000, your Personal Allowance is reduced by £1 for every £2 above that level. This is why the marginal deduction rate is so high in this range.
