What this estimate does not cover

Covers employment income only. Business, rental and investment income are taxed under different rules.
The source labels the top band differently from the sum of its own band widths; the sum is used here.

Estimates for guidance only. Figures may not reflect your actual liability — check with a local adviser before making decisions.
