NI is paid on a weekly / monthly basis as wages are paid (unless you are a director of a company in which case its annualised). Which means you can reclaim income tax but cannot reclaim paid NI contributions (of either sort be it Employer NI or Employee NI).
So if you are working for 6 months at £500 a day (using Clarity's calculator).
NI deductionsWeekly Income £2,500.00
Employer National Insurance £278.68 Employment Tax £10.93 Employee National Insurance £119.99
Income Tax
Employee Tax £633.70
Total Net Income £1,431.70
Now assuming 26 weeks of full time work (130 days) the OP will receive £37,224.20 in cash from a salary of £56820.14 and pay £16,476.20 in income tax.
The income tax due on £56820 is actually only £10228 so there would be a refund due of £6248 leaving a final take home amount of £43,472 roughlyLast edited by vwdan; 6 March 2020, 22:48.

NI is calculated as-you-go and there's no correction or refund etc, so that might be the difference.
I.e., Income Tax is ALWAYS calculated over 12 months, regardless of what happens with PAYE. If you pay too much because you only worked Jan-June then you'll get it back. NI isn't, NI is per week (Edit: Or monthly, apparently) I think. If oyu earn loads on Week 1 you pay NIC based on that, and it's gone forever.
So, to abuse The Salary Calculator - 2019 / 2020 Tax Calculator a little:
A year on £50,000 PAYE income equates to £95.46 a week
A year on £25,000 PAYE income equates to £37.77 a week
BUT,
If you earn £25,000 PAYE a year, but take it all in six months, then you'll pay the £95.46 a week figure so your take home would be less.
I THINK that's right, happy to be corrected.Last edited by vwdan; 6 March 2020, 17:41.

IR35 - Working half the year - Tax & NI Consequences
If I only contract for 6 months of the year, does this have unforeseen consequences for NI /Tax when working through an Umbrella / IR35?
I think I read something on a thread that suggested that if I worked for 6 months at £X a day and took the remaining 6 months off, I'd end up paying more tax and NI that if I worked 12 months at £X/2 a day.
I think the suggestion was more NI would be paid, but I can't find the post and can't remember the reasoning behind it. Can anyone clarify this?Tags: None
