You might be surprised by what\u2019s left of \u00a3100,000 after tax. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, it\u2019s still a handsome wage, but what many people don\u2019t know is that when you start earning over \u00a3100k, you fall into a 60% tax trap. You gradually lose your tax-free Personal Allowance between \u00a3100k-\u00a3125,140. At \u00a3125,140+ you lose it entirely.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div> \n\n
