| Band | Taxable income | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Personal allowance | Up to £12,570 | 0% |
| Basic rate | £12,571 to £50,270 | 20% |
| Higher rate | £50,271 to £125,140 | 40% |
| Additional rate | Over £125,140 | 45% |
| Class 4 NI (self-employed) | £12,570 to £50,270 / above | 6% / 2% |
In short: HMRC adds up all your taxable income, deducts your personal allowance and applies the Income Tax bands. If you are self-employed, Class 4 National Insurance is added on your profits. Tax already taken through PAYE is then deducted, and the balance is due by 31 January.
Priya earns a £30,000 salary and makes £20,000 profit from freelance design. Her total income is £50,000, so her Income Tax is £7,486, of which £3,486 is already paid through PAYE. She also owes £446 Class 4 National Insurance on her profit. Her Self Assessment bill is about £4,446.
If your Self Assessment bill is over £1,000 and less than 80% of your tax is collected at source, HMRC usually asks for two advance payments towards next year, on 31 January and 31 July. Your first January bill can therefore be up to one and a half times the figure above.
Calculators give estimates. A full return also considers allowances, losses, pension relief and student loans. Our self-employed accountants and Self Assessment service file it accurately for a fixed fee. More tools on our tax calculators page.
