How does the pension contribution deduction work?

Under auto-enrolment, employees typically contribute 5% of qualifying earnings (or total salary if unbanded), reducing taxable gross pay under salary sacrifice.

How are student loan deductions calculated?

Repayments are deducted at 9% above annual thresholds: Plan 1 (£24,990), Plan 2 (£27,295), Plan 4 Scotland (£31,395), Plan 5 (£25,000), or 6% for Postgraduate loans (£21,000).
