Does 30% on 62K sound about right?
I used this http://www.listentotaxman.com/index.php
and have no idea if that's right. I didn't plug anything into "pension" contribution, nor "allowances/deductions" nor "childcare vouchers". Just clicked "married" and put in 62K pounds (approx $100,000 US) for an example. |

Wouldn't be a million miles out.
Probably a little bit higher. The higher tax rate (40%) kicks in at ~£35K, so:
£0-10K: untaxed £10-35K: 20% £35K-whogivesacrap: 40% |
|

Interesting.
If you're at or near US household median income (51K USD/year), you'd take home *more* if you had your tax code and national health insurance than you would here (assuming you purchase a family health insurance plan through your employer). With the added bonus of not needing to file for bankruptcy if you or a family member gets sick.
I've always suspected that would be the case, but now I know it. Thanks! |
