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
