NHS backpay

Hello

Wondering if anyone could help me work out what the back pay on the raise due will be please (I'm rubbish with numbers!).

I'm top of band 3. Normal tax NI and pension contributions. I don't currently reach the student loan threshold.

Could anyone tell me what September pay I can expect with the back pay and also what my new monthly amount will?

I'm trying to budget for the winter months.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry no idea re calculations but are we getting this in September? I’ve not heard anything from our trust.

I did find a pay scale somewhere online with our new hourly rate - I then inputted it on salary calculator, I’ll see if I can find it again x

heres the link - then if you to salary calculator and change it to hourly rate you should be able to work out the difference :)

It will be £700 before any deductions if we get it in September.

My trust put on an email they believe back pay will be in September so hopefully it is next month!

@Koifish thank you. I'm trying to work out the deductions but I'm unsure if it will tip anything over into another bracket if that makes sense? I have no idea what % to apply for NI for example.

There's online calculators such as listentotaxman.com that will let you calculate your take home pay from gross monthly amount, but there are sometimes slight variations when you get back pay due to various anomalies.

It might also take a month or two to settle down to the regular monthly amount as you could pay too much tax in the back pay month, because it's taken assuming you earn that amount every month. It will catch up by the end of the financial year though.

I think that, if you end up paying student loan payments due to earning more in one month, but don't meet the threshold for the entire year, you might be able to claim it back after the end of the tax year, so could be worth looking into.

You can probably calculate your new monthly amount fairly easily, but for back pay, it might be easier to treat it as a separate one off outside your normal budget. A friend has a good rule for bits of extra money like this, which I quite like. A third to debt/anything owing, so put a third towards any debt, overpay mortgage or whatever. A third into savings and a third to spend now on something that you might not otherwise be able to afford or justify, or just some sort of treat for you or the family.

In the past they've paid increases "on account" until final agreement made. Any final agreement isn't going to be less that 5%
