With a pension
Paying 5% into a workplace pension (relief at source) leaves £65,557.40 a year in your pocket, while £4,000.00 goes into the pension with basic-rate relief added on top. Salary sacrifice also saves National Insurance – try the options in the calculator above.
Your employer’s cost
Your employer pays £14,250.00 of employer National Insurance (15% above £5,000) on top of your salary.
The £100,000 trap
From £100,000 the £12,570 personal allowance is reduced by £1 for every £2 of income, so each extra pound up to £125,140 costs 60% in income tax (plus 2% NI). A pension contribution that brings adjusted net income back to £100,000 restores the allowance – use the pension tax relief calculator to see the effect.
