  • You haven't reached retirement age yet and don't receive a state pension.
  • You don't pay Scottish income tax (this applies to people in Scotland).
  • Your National Insurance (NI) category is A, H & M (this is a standard category for most employees).
  • You only pay Class 1 National Insurance (this is paid by most employees).
  • Your tax code is likely 1257L, which is typical for someone with one job or pension.
  • This information about your take-home pay doesn't include any money going towards a pension.
  • You work 37.5 hours per week, 52 weeks per year.
