London, United Kingdom

PAYE charges income tax in 20%, 40% and 45% bands after a £12,570 allowance, with National Insurance on top. Housing is the real constraint: rent, council tax and commuting absorb a large share of take-home pay, so a mid-career salary feels tighter here than the gross figure suggests.
