How this was calculated
For the 2026/27 tax year (England, Wales & Northern Ireland) we apply your tax-free Personal Allowance, the Income Tax bands, employee National Insurance, and any student-loan repayment — each traced to a dated gov.uk/HMRC source. A pension contribution comes off before Income Tax (and before National Insurance too, for salary sacrifice). Over £100,000 the Personal Allowance tapers away, which is why the marginal rate jumps to about 60%.

No allowance, 45% at the top
At £150,000 the Personal Allowance has fully tapered away, so every pound is taxed, and the slice above £125,140 is taxed at the additional 45% rate. Pension contributions are the main lever to reduce this.
Pay less by sacrificing into a pension
At this salary a salary-sacrifice pension saves both Income Tax and National Insurance on whatever you put in — the most efficient way to cut your bill.
