Tax bracket analysis for £145,000

A gross of £145,000 sits above the Additional Rate threshold of £125,140. Your Personal Allowance is fully extinguished by the £100,000 → £125,140 taper, so every pound of gross is taxable from the first one.

Earnings between £50,270 and £125,140 attract the 40% Higher Rate; anything above £125,140 is taxed at the 45% Additional Rate. Combined with 2% Class 1 NI above the UEL, the marginal rate on the next pound is 47%.

Once income clears the £125,140 mark the 60% taper trap is behind you — but pension sacrifice still earns the headline 45% Additional Rate relief, which is the most aggressive marginal-relief band the UK system offers.
