What £110,000 means in practice
Between £100,000 and £125,140 the Personal Allowance shrinks by £1 for every £2 you earn, which makes the real marginal rate about 62%. At £110,000 your allowance has fallen to £7,570.
A pension contribution of £10,000 brings your adjusted income to £100,000 and restores the full allowance. It lowers your take-home by £4,000 a year rather than £10,000, so £6,000 of it comes back as tax saved.
Living in Scotland costs £4,050 a year more in income tax on this salary: £68,307 take-home against £72,357 elsewhere in the UK. Scotland charges 21% on pay between £29,527 and £43,662 and 42% from there to £75,000, against 20% and 40% elsewhere in the UK.
A 5% workplace pension takes £5,500 a year off your pay, but because the contribution is taken before income tax, your take-home falls by just £2,200 (£183 a month).
