All great questions, and we\u2019re here to answer them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, we\u2019ll break down how director salaries work, explore the most <a href=\"https:\/\/taxfix.com\/en-uk\/glossary\/tax-efficiency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tax-efficient<\/a> options, and show you how to combine different income streams (like <a href=\"https:\/\/taxfix.com\/en-uk\/glossary\/dividends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dividends<\/a> and pension contributions) to make the most of your money. \ud83d\udcb8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a director\u2019s salary?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a director of a limited company, you\u2019re technically an employee. So, if you want to pay yourself a <strong>limited company director salary<\/strong>, you\u2019ll do it through <a href=\"https:\/\/taxfix.com\/en-uk\/glossary\/paye\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PAYE<\/a> (Pay As You Earn), just like any other employee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But unlike a typical employee, you probably also own <a href=\"https:\/\/taxfix.com\/en-uk\/glossary\/shares\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shares<\/a> in your company, which means you can pay yourself through dividends, too.\u00a0 \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So your income might look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div> <!-- .c-body -->\n\n<div class=\"b-highlight-mini m-blue m-align-left\">\n    <div class=\"b-block-body\">\n        <ul>\n<li>A small salary (which can count as a business expense)<!-- \/wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --><\/li>\n<li>Dividends (which are taxed at a lower rate) \ud83d\udcc9<!-- \/wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --><\/li>\n<li>Possibly <a href=\"https:\/\/taxfix.com\/en-uk\/the-tax-basics\/private-pensions-and-tax\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pension contributions<\/a> (more on that later)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div> <!-- .b-highlight-mini -->\n\n<div class=\"c-body\">\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So, what\u2019s the most tax-efficient salary for directors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no one-size-fits-all <strong>limited company director salary<\/strong>, but most directors choose between two main options depending on how they\u2019re set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 1: A lower salary&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some directors choose to pay themselves a salary that stays below the thresholds for Income Tax and National Insurance, but still qualifies for state pension credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be especially tax-efficient if your company isn\u2019t eligible for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/claim-employment-allowance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Employment Allowance<\/a>, which exempts you from paying employers\u2019 National Insurance (NI) in certain situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll typically pay no tax or NI, but still build up some state pension credits. \ud83c\udfe6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 2: A salary that uses up your full Personal Allowance<\/h3>\n\n\n<\/div> <!-- .c-body -->\n\n<div class=\"b-highlight-mini m-neutral m-align-left\">\n    <div class=\"b-block-body\">\n        <p><span

salary?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No, dividends aren\u2019t included in your <strong>limited company director salary<\/strong>. But they can be used to supplement your annual income as a director. \ud83d\udcc5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dividends are payments made from your company\u2019s post-tax profits to shareholders.
