The £100,000 allowance taper and pension salary sacrifice
At £3,864,500, this 2026/27 estimate leaves £2,059,971.40 a year after Income Tax and employee National Insurance, before pensions or student loans. It uses England, Wales and Northern Ireland rates; Scottish Income Tax is different.
The standard £12,570 Personal Allowance falls by £1 for every £2 of adjusted net income above £100,000 and disappears at £125,140. Within that range, extra earnings can face an effective 60% Income Tax rate because the allowance shrinks alongside 40% higher-rate tax. National Insurance and loan repayments are additional; at exactly £100,000 adjusted net income, tapering has not started.
Pension salary sacrifice can reduce adjusted net income and restore some or all of the allowance. For example, sacrificing £10,000 from £110,000 employment pay leaves £100,000 before other income or adjustments. This exchanges spendable salary for pension funding; contribution limits and employer eligibility still matter.
£3,864,500 is £3,825,461 above the £39,039 UK median gross annual earnings reported by ONS for April 2025. That median covers full-time employees in the same job for at least a year; it is a dated gross-pay benchmark, not a 2026/27 take-home estimate.
