Aggregate | £103212 | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - |
To establish the earnings on which the maximum is based it is necessary to establish the aggregate amount of:
- earnings from each job which are between the Primary Threshold and the Upper Earnings Limit and
- earnings from each job above the Upper Earnings Limit
Total aggregate earnings | Aggregate earnings between PT and UEL | Aggregate earnings over UEL |
|---|---|---|
£103212 | 6430 + 34928 + 19478 = £60836 | nil + 7912 + 9947 = £17859 |
Step 1
Deduct the relevant Primary threshold from the relevant UEL and multiply that figure by 53.
967 - 184 = 783 x 53 = 41,499
Step 2
Multiply the result of step 1 by 12%
41,499 x 12% = 4,979.88
Step 3
Add together so much of the person’s earnings from each employed earner’s employment as
exceeded the Primary Threshold but did not exceed the Upper Earnings Limit.
6430 (job 1) + 34928 (job 2) + 19478 (job 3) = 60836
Step 4
Deduct from the total found at step 3 the amount produced by step 1
60836 - 41499 = 19337
Step 5
If the figure produced at step 4 is a positive figure multiply that figure by 2%
If the figure produced at step 4 is a negative figure, it is treated for the purposes of step 8 as nil
19337 x 2% = 386.74
Step 6
Add together so much of the person’s earnings from each employment as exceeded the Upper Earnings Limit.
Nil (job 1) +7912 (job 2) + 9947 (job 3) = 17859
Step 7
Multiply the result of step 6 by 2%
17859 x 2% = 357.18
Step 8
Add together the results of steps 2, 5 and 7.
4979.88 + 386.74 + 357.18 = 5723.80
S Rogers’ maximum for the 2021 to 2022 tax year is £5723.80
