Working out UK tax
ive set up a spreadsheet to calculate my income per week. I now would like
to make my tax and national insurance boxes to be calculated automatically. meaning all im required to do is type in my hours worked for that week. The problem is finding a formula that can do this. The UK tax and national insurance is directly proportional to how much you earn. Not one fixed percentage. Let me show us some numbers: - Payslip 1 Total Pay = 297.62 Tax = 40.65 = 13.7% N.I = 22.73 = 7.6% Payslip 2 Total Pay = 242.63 Tax = 28.56 = 11.77% N.I = 16.67 = 6.87% as you can see the percentage increases with the wage so id like to know how to get around this. all i want to be able to do is type in my hours worked for that week. then that and my hourly rate shou,d do the rest of the work i dont know if ive expplained this too well or if you may need more information to possibly help me. but id really appreciate any feedback. I can email my spreadsheet if anybody is willing to take a look at it. give me a few pointers on how to do it differently take care all rob day |

As tax due is calculated on a cumulative basis throughout the tax year, the process is as follows: First you need to calculate your taxable pay for the year to date. This is done by taking the Free Pay for the current period as defined by your tax code, from the total pay to date including the current period. You then calculate the tax due on that amount. Subtract the tax you have paid up to and including the last period, and that is the tax due for this current period. National Insurance IS a straight forward percentage of the period gross pay, but you need to split it between Emploees Contribution and Employers Contribution.

I'm not actually sure whether they give out tax tables to people who are not registered with them as an Employer but they might!
