How combined deductions were calculated

Combined Income Tax: £6,486.00 on £32,430.00 taxable pay, with one £12,570.00 Personal Allowance. This is the yearly total for both jobs; it does not assign tax codes to your employers.

Job 1 NI £1,794.40 + job 2 NI £0.00 = £1,794.40. Student loan deductions are estimated separately for each job. A Self Assessment return can produce a different repayment amount.

Your report is ready

This assumes steady pay from two unrelated jobs. It does not cover NI aggregation, deferment or adjustments through Self Assessment. Splitting your tax code between jobs does not give you another Personal Allowance. Daily and hourly figures use five days and 37.5 hours a week unless you change the working-hours settings. All conversions use 52 paid weeks. Your pay dates and payroll rounding may give different payslip amounts.

How it works

Income Tax is worked out on the two salaries together, with one Personal Allowance. NI is estimated separately for each unrelated job. The result is a yearly estimate, not a set of tax codes for your employers.

Comparing the result with your payslip

Check your tax year, country, gross pay and pension method first. A custom tax code, bonus, earlier pay or other income can make your payslip different from an annual estimate.
