How the difference changes with salary
2014/15 reference examples use monthly payroll, standard tax codes and no pension, loans, bonuses or benefits. They do not use your customised deductions. Positive values mean higher estimated take-home in Scotland; negative values mean lower estimated take-home. These are calculations, not a judgement about either tax system.
