UK Monthly Salary & Tax

This post is not Cyber Security related. A lot of my friends (who do work in IT and InfoSec/CyberSecurity fields), live in different countries (and are thinking of moving to the UK before the Brexit hits) keep asking me about the levels of salaries and tax in the UK.

I have therefore compiled this little helper table to help them understand how the annual salary in the UK (in tax year 2019–2020) translates into the monthly amount they will get in the bank after tax deductions (this is also known as “take home monthly” pay):

	salary per year	monthly in bank	p.a. equiv	annual tax	tax as a % of salary	monthly tax
	12000	966.32	11595.84	404.16	3.37%	33.68
	24000	1654.8	19857.6	4142.4	17.26%	345.2
