How Tax Impacts Your £4000 Salary
With a £4000 salary (or 4k), understanding how income tax and national insurance contributions affect your net income is crucial for financial planning. Here's a clear breakdown of these deductions:
Income Tax: In the UK, the income tax rate is progressive, meaning the rate increases as your income does. For a salary of £4000, you fall into the Personal Allowance tax band (0%).
National Insurance: These contributions are paid by workers and employers to fund various state benefits. No charges are made on the first £9,568 of your yearly earnings. A 12% rate is applied to earnings between £9,569 and £50,270. Any remaining earnings above £50,270 are taxed at a rate of 2%.
The 2% National Insurance rate on earnings above £50,270 only applies to Class 1 National Insurance contributions. There are other types of National Insurance contributions, such as Class 2 and Class 4, which have different rates.
