Hi all,
I just received my first pay slip from my new job. I earn a gross salary of £24,000, so this means the tax I should be deducted is 22%, which I was. But the NI deducted was £173.80. This is 8.65%. Is this really high? My total deductions were £613. This means I was deducted a total of 30.65%! Before this job I was temping and my agency told me the total of tax and NI deductions should work out at about 25%. Last week someone posted a calculator on here that calculted your earnings after tax and NI deductions. I tried it and it didn't work out at a total deduction of 30.65%! Also, the tax code on the P45 of my last employmer is different to the code that my new employer has used on my pay slip...does this mean anything.
Sorry, I'm not from the UK so not really sure how tax etc works here. Could someone tell me if the amount I was deducted is correct?
Many thanks
