Add a pension, student loan, bonus or overtime in the full calculator — it opens pre-filled with £100,000 and Scottish tax.
At £100,000 a Scottish taxpayer faces the 45% advanced rate plus the UK-wide Personal Allowance taper, pushing the effective marginal rate in the £100,000–£125,140 zone close to 70% — even harsher than the 60% trap elsewhere in the UK. Pension contributions to stay under £100,000 are especially valuable here.
