Tax code change?!

Can anyone help (sorry not an AIBU!)

I started a new job (NHS) at the beginning of September. At the end of Sept I was paid and my tax code on my payslip was 1257L. I've been paid today for this month and I've been paid £140 more than last month. The only difference I can see on my payslip this month is that my tax code has changed to 1261L. Is this likely to be an error? I don't want to spend the extra money if so! Obviously I plan to speak to payroll later today to clarify but wondered in the meantime if anyone on here could shed any light on whether this is likely to be correct or an error after starting a new job?

Thank you!

Sounds like a laundry allowance has been added to the standard personal allowance to make you new tax code, and the change of basis to cumulative explains the large tax refund.

Next month your tax deduction will be pretty much what is was before this month, just a little less.
