That's just the amount of 'free pay' you get...so times 630 by 20% and you get £126. It just meains you'll pay that much less in tax.

Yup, personal allowance increases every April - sometimes more one year than others, depends on how much they've been playing around with tax & national insurance rates and limits during the year and the rate of inflation the economy has seen in the previous year.

I went to see a client last week and was discussing pension contributions with him. Spent half an hour merrily discussing the lifetime allowance (£1.5m) and the annual allowance (£50k) and calculating that he can pay a lump sum of £40k into his pension this year on top of his other contributions due to using up residual allowances for the prior 3 years... and then I got back in the car to come back to the office and spent the journey thinking how nice it must be to have to "worry" about exceeding the £50k pension contributions limit each year, as well as having £40k lying around spare that you can afford to pay into your pension as a lump sum, willy nilly.

I wish I had his problems. *Sigh*
