Reading the table
The deductions column is the share of the salary that goes in income tax and National Insurance before the money reaches you. It rises with salary because the personal allowance is a fixed £12,570 and the 40% band begins at £50,270, so a higher monthly target costs proportionately more in gross pay. Each page in the ladder shows the working, the hourly rate behind the salary and the Scottish figure. For a target that is not listed, or for a different pension rate or loan plan, the net to gross calculator gives the exact salary, and the take-home pay calculator checks it.
