Work doesn't pay

Just that really

Got a promotion . Started new role in april. This promotion was one that I secured after a hard fought year, means taking on extra hours and much more stress . Big impact on work life balance, kids etc. Worth it I thought ....

NO IT ISN'T!!!

Seems since this I've entered a near 100% tax on my payrise, so thanks to current tax setup in uk, my take home pay is static!!!!!! yet responsibility and hours gone up

Planning to resign the promotion from my job

Ridiculous situation!

That makes zero sense.

no one pays almost 100% tax

Nordicrain · 02/05/2023 15:03

you paying 100% on your pay rise isn't possible.

That's not how tax should work. If your pay is higher your take home pay should be higher.

Maybe look into it further before you make your decision.

Tax doesn't work like that in the UK.
If you are earning more you will pick up more.
What are you earning now? and what were you earning before?

So you have had a promotion and a pay rise and you're taking home the same amount?

What were you on? what was take home?

What are you on now? and what is take home?
