What is my PAYE

Google, HMRC site etc

Direct link:

Yes.

sadly that calculator deals only with PAYE and leaves NICs aside. But then we can't HMRC to have made much further progress on the integration of NICs and PAYE operations in the short time since the Contributions Agency was transferred

I provided some links in response to the separate post in uk.business.accountancy

The first £5225 of your annual income is not subject to tax. Over 52 weeks you will earn £7176. £1951 is therefore subject to tax, and as it is less than the lower rate band of £2230, this will be taxed at

10% until April 5th, after which it will be taxed at 20%.

That assumes that you have worked at that rate of pay and hours since

6th April 2007. If you have only just started work, you may not be liable to pay any tax at all.

This is 11% on your earnings above £87 per week. You earn £138 per week, therefore NICs are payable on £51 at 11%, or £5.61.

Impossible to say.

Gross 138.00 Tax 3.74 NI 4.18 Take home 130.08

Tax may be different if you worked different hours, or not at all, earlier in the year. If you did you need to provide year to date taxable pay and tax paid.

NI will be lower if you're in a company pension scheme contracted out of SERPS.

You start paying NI at 100 a week, not 87 (that is the LEL at which you start to get credits, you don't start to pay till the PT).

In which case, if the pension scheme is contributory, tax would be lower too.

(I am posting these questions for a friend)

Hi all thanks for all the information very much appreciated.

My friends wants to challenge there employer but wants a second opinion first. She has not been getting pay slips for the last 4 months so she dous not know what Tax or NI she is paying.

My friend has been working for this employer for the last 2 years at minimum wage. On October 2007 the National Minimum wage was increased to 5.52 an hour from 5.35 an hour

This would make my Gross weekly Pay 138 My estimated deductions on total Taxable of 37.52 (with Tax Code 522L) National Insurance 4.17 PAYE Tax Deductions 3.74 Total Deductions 7.91

This would result in Estimated Weekly wage of around 130.09 not the 125.71 that my employer has been paying me resulting in an estimated shortfall of

4.38 a week.

Dues that sound correct to you ??????

I have another question that I would be grateful if you could help me out with.

My friend has just started maternity leave and her employer has told her she is only entitled to 99.41 a week.

I have been on the HMRC Statutory Maternity Pay Calculator (SMP) web site and it is say that she should be getting

120.38 for the first 6 weeks and 112.75 for the next 33 weeks.

But I don't know if this is before National Insurance and PAYE Tax Deductions can someone please help me out with this thanks

Thanks again Tom

An employee is entitled to a statement of gross pay and deductions such as tax and NIC. The problem is getting that enforced. But one way to bring pressure to bear may be to seek to involve HMRC's minimum wage team. They can be contacted on 0845 6000 678. The line to take with them may be that it is impossible to tell if the minimum wage is being paid.

Easiest (and "correct") way is to take the employer to an employment tribunal.
