Your Personal Allowance — the amount you can earn before paying Income Tax — is £0 on a ££150,000 salary. This is reduced from the standard £12,570 because your income is above £100,000 (£1 lost for every £2 earned above that threshold). Income Tax is then charged at 20% up to £50,270, 40% up to £125,140, and 45% above that. National Insurance is charged at 8% between £12,570 and £50,270, and 2% above that.
