How hard will you be hit as National Insurance rises by 1.25% across the UK in April

It has been revealed that the richest in the country will be least effected by National Insurance (NI) rises coming into play in April, when workers will see a 1.25 per cent increase across the board.

Those on an affluent salary of £100,000 a year in the UK will see just seven per cent of their wages go to National Insurance, while those earning the average wage of £30,000 will part with nine per cent of their annual wage.

The research, by Income Tax Calculator UK, analysed how much National Insurance (taking into account the 1.25 per cent increase in April) people earning between £20,000 to £100,000 a year would pay in in 2022, to discover what percentage of each worker’s salary would go to NI.
