60% marginal-rate alert
At £115,000 every additional pound earned in the £100,000 → £125,140 corridor forfeits 50p of the Personal Allowance. Layer concurrent student loans and the effective deduction stacks to 77%.
60% effective marginal trap
A gross of £115,000 places you inside the UK's Personal Allowance taper zone — the statutory band between £100,000 and £125,140 where HMRC claws back £1 of tax-free allowance for every £2 of excess income. The clawed allowance is re-taxed at the Higher Rate, lifting the effective marginal deduction on this slice to roughly 62%.
Inside the £100,000 → £125,140 corridor, every additional pound of gross removes 50p from your Personal Allowance and re-taxes that 50p at the 40% Higher Rate — on top of the 40% PAYE charge on the pound itself, and the 2% Class 1 NI levied above the £50,270 UEL. That stacks to the 60%+ effective rate flagged above.
The most direct way to escape the trap is to push adjusted net income back to £100,000 via salary sacrifice or personal pension contributions. The interactive calculator quantifies the exact sacrifice figure required, and the salary-sacrifice optimiser models the employer-NI rebate alongside the personal-side relief.
