How your income tax is calculated

As an employee your income tax is normally deducted automatically by your employer based on your salary.

Most of the time you don't have to make any additional tax payments.

However you may be eligible for a tax refund or may need to make an additional tax payment when:

You change jobs or earn over £100,000
Do things that qualify for tax relief (make pension payments, give to charity, etc)
Earn additional income from other sources other than your employment

When you're self-employed, you have to pay your income tax and national insurance contributions yourself in your annual Self Assessment. Our calculator helps you quickly assess how much you owe.

However you may be eligible for a tax refund when:

You already made tax payments for the year but your annual income ended up less than planned
You have done things that qualify for a tax relief (made private pension contributions, given to charity, etc.)

In your case when you earn £50,000 :
