The 60% tax trap applies to you
Between £100,000 and £125,140, you lose £1 of your tax-free Personal Allowance for every £2 you earn over £100,000. Your income is £12,000 over, so you have lost £6,000 of your £12,570 allowance. Each extra £1 you earn here is taxed at your normal rate and pulls another 50p of allowance into tax, so it costs 60% in income tax. Paying about £12,000 more into a pension by net pay or salary sacrifice (or £9,600 by relief at source) would bring your income back to £100,000 and restore the allowance. How the trap works.

- Total cost to your employer: £128,050.00 a year: your pay plus employer NI. Employer pension contributions are not included.

What stands out at £112,000?
You are in the 60% tax trap. Your pay is £12,000 over £100,000, so you have lost £6,000 of your tax-free allowance. Each extra pound here costs 60% in income tax plus 2% NI. A £12,000 pension contribution through salary sacrifice or net pay would win the whole allowance back.
National Insurance takes 8% up to £50,270 and only 2% above it, so it is £4,250.60 a year: 3.8% of your pay, against 30.9% for income tax.
A £1,000 pay rise would add about £380 a year to your take-home pay (£32 a month). The rest goes in tax and National Insurance.
Over a 37.5-hour week, £112,000 is £57.44 an hour before tax and £37.50 after. Your employer also pays £16,050 a year in employer National Insurance on your pay.
In Scotland you would pay £4,200 more income tax a year on the same pay (£350 a month), because Scotland has higher rates at this level.

What does a 5% pension cost on £112,000?
5% of £112,000 is £5,600.00 a year into your pension. What it costs your take-home pay depends on how your workplace takes it:
| Into pension | Take-home a month | Cost per £1 saved | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salary sacrifice | £5,600.00 | £5,915.78 | 38p |
| Net pay | £5,600.00 | £5,906.45 | 40p |
| Relief at source | £5,600.00 | £5,719.78 | 80p |
Salary sacrifice leaves you £112.00 a year more than net pay here, because it saves National Insurance as well as tax. With relief at source you can also claim £2,240.00 back through Self Assessment, which is not in the table. The three types compared.
