Help working out back pay from £1925

[1925vat]

LA workers have a flat rate of £1925 increase backdated from April and paid in December.

Can any clever accountant types work out roughly how much extra we will see in our wages that month? After NI / Tax / small (4%) for pension and based on the April-December portion of the pay?

Thank you - I'm thinking maybe £800 but not good with maths so could be waaaayyyy out

It depends how much your salary is as that will affect the tax and NI %

I think £800 is probably quite close tbh. It depends when your pay date is and whether you have a student loan outstanding. Some local authorities paid out earlier than others so the backpay was 7 months, some 8 months.

Will depend on if your pension is taken out before or after tax.

if you use the salary calculator on MSE it should help 🙂

Hi op.
Mine was paid in November (we are a small arms lengths organisation that follow local govt pay rise which is why we are able to do it faster, I assume).

It was 1123.50 before tax, so if you add on an extra 174 (1925 divided by 12) to cover November yours should be approx 1297 before deductions. Agree with the poster who recommended salary calculator to work out the rest.

Tbh by the time my additional tax, ni, pension and student loan came out it wasn't a huge amount, but given I've never had more than a 1.5% pay increase absolute max in the last 13 years of working in the public sector, can't complain!

@latetothefisting my cousin had hers paid in November as well, she's county council. She got about £800 but was screwed on the student loan deduction so lost about £100 from what she would've otherwise got.

I can't see how to do in on the MSE tool.

Thanks for the input though, I think it will be around the £800 mark.

Salary is around £30k and no student finance.

I did a rough £1925 / 12 times 9 and then deducted a bit for tax / NI and pension

can you enter your details here and put the backpay through as a bonus?

Thanks for that yes it does look about £800.

Now to try not to spend all of it before I actually get paid.
