£580

Your marginal rate is 42%, so you keep 58% of anything extra you earn.

Mortgage guide

£376,000–£423,000

Most lenders work from four to four and a half times gross salary. A real offer depends on your deposit, credit file and outgoings, so treat this as the range to start from.

A 5% pension

£2,820

Paying £4,700 into a pension only reduces your take-home by £2,820, because £1,880 of it comes out of tax you would otherwise have paid.

Your effective rate on £94,000 is 30.8%, which is what you actually pay across the whole salary. Your marginal rate of 42% is what the next pound costs. People usually quote the second and budget with the first.
