Your tax code changed. Do you know why? 👀 Your em Your tax code changed. Do you know why? 👀Your employer uses it to work out how much Income Tax comes out of your pay, so a change could affect what lands in your account each month💸It might be something straightforward: you’ve started a new job, but HMRC still has your old one on record. Or your estimated income or company benefits have changed. A new code doesn’t automatically mean there’s a problem, but you want to know what’s behind it.Check the reason in the HMRC app, make sure the details are right and update anything that isn’t. Then keep an eye on your payslip. It’s your money…don’t leave it to guesswork🩷
A pay rise takes you into the 40% tax band. Do you A pay rise takes you into the 40% tax band. Do you suddenly pay 40% on your whole salary? No💸Say you earn £55,000: First £12,570 → 0% Income Tax
Next £37,700 → 20% Income Tax
Final £4,730 → 40% Income Tax That’s £1,892 taxed at 40%, not £55,000 taxed at 40%.A higher tax band only applies to the slice of income above the threshold 🩷Example for the 2026/27 tax year in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, assuming the standard Personal Allowance. Income Tax only; National Insurance and other deductions also affect take-home pay.
The side hustle is bringing in money? Love that fo The side hustle is bringing in money? Love that for you. Now let’s make sure the admin is handled too💸If you made over £1,000 before expenses from freelance work, content creation or reselling between 6 April 2025 and 5 April 2026, check whether you need to complete a tax return.If you do and you’re new to Self Assessment, 5 October 2026 is the date to tell HMRC. You’re registering to file, your online return and tax payment are due by 31 January 2027.Already registered and filing? You don’t need to register again. Made £1,000 or less? You may not need to register for that income, although there are exceptions🩷👀General information only: check your own circumstances using HMRC’s Self Assessment checker.
£50k salary sounds great… but what are you actuall £50k salary sounds great… but what are you actually taking home? 👀💸Because your salary and the amount that hits your bank account every month are two very different numbers 😂We’ve done the maths for you. Here’s what salaries from £50k–£80k actually look like after Income Tax + National Insurance. Very handy if you’re negotiating a pay rise, considering a new job or simply wondering where the rest of your salary went?Figures are illustrative and based on standard tax assumptions. Your take-home can vary depending on your tax code, pension, student loan and other deductions.
Okay but 53 paid days off a year?! 👀✈️ Take a loo Okay but 53 paid days off a year?! 👀✈️Take a look at how the UK compares to the rest of the world when it comes to paid time off and there are some very interesting differences…The global average is 30 days, the UK comes in at 28 with the USA only at 10 days.Suddenly your annual leave allowance is feeling very different 😂Figures combine statutory paid annual leave + paid public holidays. Individual employer allowances can vary.Source: Resume.io / Visual Capitalist
Girl maths 🤝🏽 actual maths If the designer bag is Girl maths 🤝🏽 actual mathsIf the designer bag is on your 2026 wishlist, it’s worth knowing which ones have historically held their value best on the resale market.Based on resale data from platforms including Rebag, The RealReal and Vestiaire Collective, these are some of the styles that stand out when it comes to value retention.Of course, a designer bag isn’t a financial investment in the same way as putting your money into an ISA, pension or other investments. Resale value can change depending on the style, colour, condition and demand.But if you’re buying one anyway? Knowing which styles tend to hold their value is definitely worth factoring into the decision 💸👜Which one are you choosing?
