How it's calculated
Job 1 — £50,000.00
Tax code 1257L — Personal Allowance £12,570, then 20% up to £50,270 and 40% above (with the £100k+ PA taper if applicable).
Job 2 — £20,000.00
Tax code D0 — every £ taxed at 40% (Higher Rate). No Personal Allowance because Job 1 already used it.
National Insurance is calculated per employment, each with its own £12,570 Primary Threshold. That's why the two-job NI total (£3,588.80) differs from the single-employment equivalent below.
vs. earning the same £70,000.00 from a single employer
Single-employer take-home
£51,157
£4,263 / month
Two-job take-home
£50,925.20
£4,243.77 / month
- Net difference: -£232.20/yr (two jobs vs one)
- Income Tax difference: £54.00
- NI difference: £178.20
In this scenario the two-job NI outcome is roughly the same as a single employer.
