UK income tax is calculated using progressive tax bands. Most employees receive a Personal Allowance, meaning the first portion of income is tax-free. Income above this level is taxed at higher rates depending on earnings.
National Insurance contributions are paid by most UK employees through PAYE. Contribution rates depend on earnings and help fund benefits including the State Pension.
The Personal Allowance is the amount of income you can earn before paying income tax. Most employees receive the standard allowance, although this may be reduced for higher earners.
