How Will My Second Job Be Taxed?

TheTaxGuide Editor 29/03/2026 at 7:12 pm

@Lindy I understand your frustration with the tax on your second job. Consider speaking to HMRC about splitting your tax allowance between both jobs, which might help balance the tax burden.

Lindy 19/10/2020 at 5:52 pm

I have 2 jobs cleaner at club on a morning on which I don't pay tax but I work at factory on backshift as cleaner and I get hammered on tax is it worth while do the first job at club as I feel it isn't worth it

TheTaxGuide Editor 29/03/2026 at 7:13 pm

@SS That does sound frustrating, especially when your tax seems so much higher than your colleagues on the same salary. With your combined income of about £26,640, you should typically pay around £2,800 in income tax annually, or roughly £233 per month. The fact you're paying £380 suggests something might be wrong with your tax code.

This could happen if HMRC hasn't properly split your personal allowance between your two jobs, or if they think you owe tax from a previous year. I'd strongly recommend calling HMRC on 0300 200 3300 to check your tax codes for both jobs. They can usually sort this out quickly over the phone and arrange a refund if you've overpaid. Your apprentice status shouldn't affect your tax rate, just your NI contributions.

I am currently an apprentice and I pay NI at code H, my pay is £24,000 a year and I also work 16hrs a month for a charity role which is also paid at £220pm, how much tax should I e paying? (My collegues are paying around £170pm tax for the same job and salary as me, yet I am paying £380pm tax which is nearly my whole charity role pay pm on top of the tax from my apprenticeship.)

Ryan 11/10/2020 at 6:45 pm

I have a main job salaried at 18,500 per year and a second job at £6.50 per hour working around 30/40 hours per week. How much roughly should I get taxed?

I have got a full time job , I earning 33000 a year and I started a part time self employed job last month hoping to earn 10,000 a year how much tax and NI will pay in my self employed job

Jas 02/07/2020 at 6:20 pm

Hi I have 2 jobs my first job I get paid 1150 second job paid 362 after tax it is BR tax but I'm sure on both my jobs I am getting taxed to much can you help

Caramel 30/05/2020 at 11:21 am

I currently have a full time job and wonder if I get a second job, is it worth it? If earning under 40k (doing both jobs and still yearly earnings come to a total of less than 40k), will I only be taxed a maximum of 20% on all of my income? or will I be paying more than a total of 20% as i have two jobs? Please clarify as I'm a little confused.
Just to be clear. You can work multiple jobs however will only pay 20% tax on your total earnings if you earn under 43k?
So, if for some reason, I get charged more tax than 20% i can claim back at the end of the tax year? Why would I be on different tax codes? It's so confusing!!
Many thanks

Dee 06/05/2020 at 1:54 pm

I'm currently working full-time, as from next week I will be going part-time, and at the same time starting a new part-time job for another company. Separately each job would be below the threshold for student loan repayment, but combined above the threshold. How do I continue my payments. Also what would my tax code be going forward.

Kel 20/04/2020 at 12:14 pm

Hi I have been offered two jobs and want to work out if I accept what would I be taxed or what will I take home after tax and NI. First job is 30k per year and the second is 10k per year. Can you please advise how this works please.

I am a director of my husband's company getting paid £1500 per month. I would like to have a casual 25hr job at 8.60 per hour. Would my husband's company pay tax or would it be my second job?

I have been looking for a cleaning job two hours on a morning and two on an evening. I'm on working tax credits. I have been offered the hours with two different companies so will be classed as having two jobs. How will this effect me with tax credits and the amount of tax i pay as its working ten hours with one company and ten hours with another

Hello,

I have 2 jobs - 1 full time (my main job) through an employer that pays me £80k a year, then I have another, which is more like a freelance work I do online for which I get paid roughly £30k a year - can you please help me work out my tax and NI. Also any advise in terms of setting it up so I dont have any surprises with HMRC later on?

Cheers

Chris 08/09/2019 at 8:18 pm

I'm an apprentice earning £8,482 a year. I also have a second job, 5 hours a week, earning £2,000 a year. As both wages total 10,482, bellow my personal allowance, do I still have to pay tax on the second job?

Jane 04/07/2019 at 2:11 pm

Hi, I've recently been offered 2 part time positions (very similar roles) and am wondering if I could accept both offers? In theory I'll have 30mins travel time from one job to the next but it could work out. Each post is only 17.5hrs so equates to one full time post really but in 2 different schools in neighbouring boroughs. Anyone know the tax implications?

Nat 05/06/2019 at 7:55 pm

Hi I have recently left my job to do some ad hoc work on a self employed basis. Working 1-2 days a week, work isn’t always guaranteed. Therefore I have stayed as a bank worker at my old job this month I have just one 6 hour shift do I pay BR tax on this or do I only pay tax if I go over the 2019 tax thershold?

Hi, I am currently employed full time and I am earning a base salary of 16000 however I am due to leave at the end of next month as I am going to be doing an apprenticeship, they have agreed on an hourly rate of £7.50 at 40 hours a week so £300 a week * 52 will be £15,600. My current employer has bank staff rolls available and I was wondering how much I would pay in tax and how it would affect my income being bank staff instead of outright leaving

Yorkie 09/04/2019 at 3:27 pm

Hi, I'm in full time employment and in my employers service dept. I earn a decent wage, on the edge if being a higher rate tax payer.
I have been approached to do some similar part-time work for another organisation on my days off and evenings which would be great extra income, trouble is this would push me into higher rate earnings and tax.
A friend said I could set myself up as self employed for this work and pay a lower rate of tax on that money ? I don't want to evade tax but simply make use of any legitimate tax efficient ways.

Panco 28/03/2019 at 1:16 pm

Will I still get taxed on my second job if that job's income plus my first one (and any previous one I had that year) amounts to less than my yearly personal allowance (£11850?)
If not, what is the right tax code for me?

If anyone could help me figure this out it would be of huge help!

Lou 14/11/2018 at 7:42 pm

Fifi 11/09/2018 at 12:24 pm

Hi I’m working 22hrs a week at 7.85ph but also signed up to an agency to work as and when, how much tax would I pay

TheTaxGuide Editor 04/09/2018 at 1:58 pm

With the BR code from your job, all your income from this job or pension is taxed at the basic rate of 20% (usually used if you’ve got more than one job or pension). If your earnings have not reached the annual personal tax allowance of £11,850 then you will have this money returned. You may wish to speak to your employer or ring HMRC directly regarding having your tax code changed so that you pay no tax at all.

Loui 03/09/2018 at 2:07 pm

I am employed working 15hrs at £8.20 but get paid monthly and I'm self employed for 2 hrs a week at £8.00 a week. Would I get taxed on this. Ive just registered self employed and have no clue what to do.

I have two jobs the first is as and when and the second is 12 hrs a week, combined I am nowhere near the tax limit. The first job has my p45, I am paying tax on first job, then get it refunded annually....second job I am down as BR so pay 20% will I get this backannually too?

RichardW 26/08/2018 at 9:29 am

Hello, I am going to be earning two wages for 3 months soon and was wondering how my tax is going to work. My current job pays me £32,000 per year and I am starting a new role n November which pays £31,000 per year. I will still be paid by my old job until January (personal leave entitlement and a few other entitlements)

I was wondering if you could shed any light as to how my tax will be calculated across both incomes for those three months.

Any help would really be appreciated.

Richard.

Andy 24/08/2018 at 3:19 pm

Can my employer find out if I have a second job??

EB 21/08/2018 at 9:19 pm

Hi, I am in a job earning 55000/year and thinking of taking a second one part time that will pay 20000/year. Could you please advise on the take home pay from both jobs combined after tax? Pension contribution on job 1 is 3% and at job 2 will be 11%.
Thanks

Amy 21/08/2018 at 4:52 pm

Hi I have a part time job that pays £580 every 4 weeks. I have just accepted a second part time job that will pay about £250 per 4 weeks.

How much am I likely to be taxed on my second job ?

At the moment I don't get taxed on my first job because it is under the allowance.

Can someone explain in simple terms what I am likely to have to pay in tax if taking on this second job (slightly thick when it comes to things like this).

Thanks.

Gem 16/08/2018 at 7:12 pm

If your second job is bank do you on my pay more tax when you have done shifts in this second job or every month even if not worked

Dannyboi 10/08/2018 at 9:12 pm

I have a full time job but don't earn enough to be taxed, I've started a second job just for the summer holidays so will I get taxed loads on that job?

TheTaxGuide Editor 10/08/2018 at 11:25 am

You will not pay lots of tax. You will get taxed 20% on the earnings of your second job. Your first job allows for £11,850 of your personal allowance to be taken into consideration before it applies 20% tax.

TheTaxGuide Editor 09/08/2018 at 1:44 pm

You would have to declare the money via self-assesment. You would not have to pay NI. You would only pay tax on it if your current earnings are over £11,850.

Jak 08/08/2018 at 4:21 pm

Hi i have offer of get extra job for two weeks and actually it will be my additional job for this time as I still have my main job. They will pay me in cash so how we can pay a tax on it? And do I still need to pay NIN

essavivya 07/08/2018 at 3:02 pm

Hi, i'm trying to find out if it would be worth taking a second job in the run up to Christmas (yep, i know it's only August!)

my 1st job gives me £21,800 a year before tax.
my 2nd job if i take it would give me £10,560 a year before tax.

how do i know what i'll be paying out?

i get easily confused looking at comparison sites and just want a simple breakdown. i don't want to work every weekend for £880 a month just to lose loads on tax.

please help...in desperate need of it!

gosia96 01/08/2018 at 12:35 pm

HI, I started working from 1. 07.2018 its my first job from april 2018. Now im working on full- time job and i have an opporunity to work on part time job additional. Whats about my tax? I want to be 2 months in uk. Please help me

Jo 25/07/2018 at 11:08 am

Hi I currently work 15hrs week nhs, I have joined the nhs bench to get extra shifts (second job). In sept my main job is going to 7.5hrs and I will be doing between 7.5hrs and 15hrs a week on my second job. With potentially working more on my second job do I need to put this as my main job regarding tax? Thanks in advance

Marianne 22/07/2018 at 10:12 pm

I will have 2 jobs both part time. One will be 28 hours and the second 16. None of them reach 11850. But together they reach over 11.850. Will I get taxed on both of them or only on the second one with code BR?

Steve007 21/07/2018 at 8:21 pm

I currently earn £43500, I have a company car and a fuel card meaning my Benicia are more than my personal allowance. I am thinking of taking a second job only 13.5 hours per week. Is is going to be worth while me taking this job? Don’t know the rate of pay for the part time job.

Sonu 20/07/2018 at 7:31 pm

Hi. I need some advice. I am working 38.5 hrs p/w as my permanent job . If I do some part time job as my second job 22 hrs p/w , how much tax I have to pay for my second job. Thank you

TheTaxGuide Editor 17/07/2018 at 12:27 pm

You would have to register via HMRC for self-assessment. It will not affect your other job's tax. You can also claim for expenses on your self-employed job against some of your incomings.

Sho 16/07/2018 at 10:36 pm

I have three jobs (one is main other two are Locum) my total earning go above 70k/annum .The second and 3rd job has BR tax code , is this correct ? Or should I have been paying higher tax rate on these extra 2 job as well??

Belinda 16/07/2018 at 6:49 pm

Hi. Looking for some advise. I work 32 hours a week at national living wage. I am looking to do a second job as a rep for a company so would be self employed. How do i go about tax for this job? Would i have to go seperatly and do it as self employed or would this affect my other jobs tax. Ive worked out i would probably only be earning about 20 pound a month. Thanks

TheTaxGuide Editor 09/07/2018 at 12:33 pm

You will not pay tax on either job if you earn below £11,850.

JamieC 07/07/2018 at 5:36 pm

I have been offered some temporary work. I work part time 10 hours a week at £9 per hour, the temporary work will be between 4&5 hours a week at £10 per hour.
I think This shouldn’t take me over my tax threshold, if this is the case what tax code should I have on my temporary work?

LiamD 07/07/2018 at 4:35 pm

I have two jobs but don’t earn over £11,850 per year so will I still pay tax? As I’m not over the threshold of my tax free ammount?

TheTaxGuide Editor 06/07/2018 at 3:12 pm

You will be taxed on both jobs at 20%. However, your main job will also have your tax-free allowance attributed to it of £11,850 which is the amount you can earn before you pay tax.

Ree 04/07/2018 at 2:44 pm

I have two jobs, I earn £25,000 in my full time and £6177 in my part time. I have been told that my tax would be deducted from both combined which will be at £31,177.
Will I be taxed for both or just my fulltime?

TheTaxGuide Editor 03/07/2018 at 9:58 am

It won't make any difference that you have two jobs. You will still be granted your annual personal tax allowance of £11,850. This is the amount you can earn that you do not have to pay tax on. This can be attributed to one main job, or across two. The main this is to ensure HMRC is aware that this amount will span across two jobs and not just one.

Leanne 02/07/2018 at 2:16 pm

Can you help me please
I'm a single mum of 2 and am finding it hard to find work that works around my life.
Iv been thinking of getting 2 part time jobs both being around 10 hours pw .
How would I be taxed on these jobs please is it worth it
Thanks

robbo 22/06/2018 at 4:42 pm

If I work 14 hours per week and earn 680 a month, and work a second job at 7.83ph for roughly 15 hours per week, will the second job be taxed? It doesn't seem like I should be getting taxed for such low income...

Vee Klas 14/06/2018 at 8:24 pm

I currently have a (part time) job learning £23K per year, I will be starting ANOTHER job (full time) earning £25,500 per year so total earnings per year would be £48,500 my questions are:
1. Which one of the two jobs would be classed as my main job? the higher paying job to me will be my main job as the 23K is part time and would be the second job.
2. I read somewhere if you have two jobs you get 2 separate tax codes. Would I be able to have the higher paying job as the one with the personal allowance? Ie. Tax code with L for the higher paying job and tax code with BR for the second part time or would they both be BR? If not BR for both what would they be?
3. Lastly is there a way to choose which job stays with the normal tax code that has L? As I would like my new job to be the main source of income and prefer that to have the personal allowance.

Only if you earn over £11,850 which is your annual personal tax allowance.

Dee 13/06/2018 at 6:04 am

StdNurse12 05/06/2018 at 6:52 pm

Hi I’m a student nurse currently working part time at a fast food outlet, I’m also about to join the health board staff bank. With both incomes combined it is unlikely that I will earn more than 11000- just wondering how much tax I would be expected to pay (due to having two jobs) if any?
Thanks.

TheTaxGuide Editor 04/06/2018 at 3:52 pm

You will continue to be taxed on your first job, on earnings over £11,850 (your personal annual tax allowance). You will be taxed at 20% on your second job.

TheTaxGuide Editor 01/06/2018 at 12:55 pm

The correct information can be found here , which should help answer your question.

Leo88 01/06/2018 at 12:53 pm

I currently work full time and earn 23.5 per annum, fully employed and pay tax and NI. I'm thinking of taking on a second job which will only earn me maximum of £400 per month, so under 5k per year. What will my tax be on the second job and would I then not be taxed on my first job?

DIMITAR 28/05/2018 at 10:35 am

Hi ,
i am currently working full time and getting paid 31,000 per year .
i am planning of tarting a second job from which i will be getting paid around 10 000 per year .So what i am confused is that most that i wrote online says 'For the 2018-19 tax year, the earnings threshold for the basic tax bracket is £46,351 ' ,but when you check the government website it says 34,000 so i am not sure which one is the correct amount ,as if the one with 46 000 is correct means with both jobs i will still be paying 20% tax ,can you help explaining which one is correct?
also does it metter if the second job is as employee or self employee ?

thank you

Patrick97 26/05/2018 at 11:45 am

I'm currently working 2 jobs, and I've automatically been taxed on the 2nd, but my annual income is still less than £11'850. Is there any way to claim this back?

Tpot 25/05/2018 at 5:19 pm

I am about to start a second job. My job that I have now is £500p/m and my second job will be 800p/m. Both wages will be coming in on separate dates. Will both wages get taxed of 20%? Or just one? Because accumulatative I earn £1300p/m and I’m in the first tax bracket.

Mike Editor 03/11/2017 at 3:11 pm

@T M - just ring up HMRC - you can swap them around.

T 24/05/2018 at 2:34 pm

I currently work a bank position and am due to start full time work soon. Will my full time job be listed as my second job and if so, how do I change that?

TheTaxGuide Editor 22/05/2018 at 10:18 am

If your son doesn't pay tax now, then he will only pay tax once he earns over £11,850 in the year 2018/19.

TheTaxGuide Editor 21/05/2018 at 1:58 pm

The standard Personal Allowance is £11,850, which is the amount of income you don’t have to pay tax on. If you do not earn above this amount in the year 2018/19, then you will not be taxed on either job.

Jenn 21/05/2018 at 11:58 am

My son works 11 hrs a wk in 1 job then 20 hrs as stand in a wk when he is needed will he pay tax straight away or only after her earn £11000 per yr

Jordan98 18/05/2018 at 6:48 pm

Hi, I am currently thinking of getting a second job as my current job are only providing 8hrs a week, if I get a second job around the same hours will I get taxed?

TheTaxGuide Editor 14/05/2018 at 2:24 pm

Yes. Anything she earns over £11,850 will be charged at 20% tax.

TheTaxGuide Editor 14/05/2018 at 12:12 pm

Yes. , which will help further.

TheTaxGuide Editor 14/05/2018 at 12:01 pm

If you attribute you main job to your annual personal tax allowance and your second job will be be the overlap, from which you should only be taxed on £2,200. HMRC will sort your code out out if you speak to your employer's directly.

2catz 12/05/2018 at 9:09 am

Hi I will soon be working 3 days a week in my main job ( down from 5 pw / term time ) , and I am also working 2.5 days a week in a second job which pays a lower hourly rate. My term time salary at the school will therefore pay approx £10,000 a year, and my second job, about £4,000. How will the income tax work in this situation? as both jobs are now below the threshold but together they will take my salary to just above £14,000

i also get child tax credit

Thanks

Kandy 12/05/2018 at 7:17 am

Hi. I work full time (32hrs in education) and earn £20000 per year . Just taken on temporary work at home - about 5-6 hrs a week where I shall be earning approx £136.00- this job might only last about 4-5 months. That money will be paid direct to me and I was told I would have to do self assessment for tax. Is this correct ?

Will 11/05/2018 at 5:38 pm

Hi, my girlfriend has just returned to work from maternity and is working 2 and half days. I am not sure what her annual income will be, but we believe it to be just short of the personal allowance. She has recently got a second job with a retailer working weekends for minimum wage. So would she just be tax 20% on her weekend job?

TheTaxGuide Editor 11/05/2018 at 11:17 am

You would need to make your new job your main job by informing HMRC, HMRC will then attribute the £11,850 personal tax allowance to your higher earning job.

TheTaxGuide Editor 11/05/2018 at 9:50 am

Your annual personal tax allowance of £11,850 is attributed to your main job. This means you will not have any personal tax allowance attributed to your second job, so you will pay a straight 20% tax.

Kiki 10/05/2018 at 2:42 pm

I earn just under 16k a year. Just about to start a part time job as well. Will I have to pay extra tax? It's only one day a week for 7 hrs at £9 ph

Nooz 10/05/2018 at 10:52 am

Hi,

I currently have a Saturday job where I get £5,789.

I will be starting a full-time job Monday-friday where the pay is £27,000.

Will I be taxed BR for the full time role or the Saturday role? What is the best way to go about it so that I'm not paying the 20% for the full time role.

Thanks

TheTaxGuide Editor 01/05/2018 at 3:37 pm

It depends which job your personal tax allowance is attributed to. If it attributed to your part-time job, then you may be losing out on your taxable allowance. Or you may be paying too much tax on your main job at a straight 20%. Give HMRC a call in order to find out directly if you are still unsure after you have looked at your P60/wage slips.

TheTaxGuide Editor 01/05/2018 at 10:12 am

In a case such as this, if you have irregular earnings you would need to speak to HMRC directly to try sort this out. The tax on a second job is often paid through a BR tax code. BR stands for Basic Rate, which is set at 20%.

JEZZA 01/05/2018 at 10:01 am

Hi I use to work a full time job which I was getting £15k a year and I went part time for 8k and switched to a full time job of 20k a year I don’t get taxed for my part tjme
Job just insurance but I do get taxed from my main full time job my combine income is 28-30 k a year before tax but I’m getting taxed just from
My full time is that ok ?

TheTaxGuide Editor 01/05/2018 at 9:55 am

Your son's employer can fill in this new starter form here (if your son cannot supply his P45).

Jay 30/04/2018 at 5:05 pm

Hello,

I earn £22.039 on my main job. I have a second job where my earning differ each month.

my second job didn't pay me for the first few months so i have received a larger then normal amount of £1670 but after tax been paid only £740.14

Is this right? or are they assuming i will be paid this every month which brings me over the threshold.

To top it off i also received a bonus in my main job in the same month of over £500 but seem to be taking home £70 extra.

oakley8377 30/04/2018 at 3:25 pm

My son works in a pub, he took a 2nd job recenlty but got taxed on it at basic rate. he will be way below tax threshold. How does he sow 2nd job this and avoid tax as he cannot get a P45 from pub. Thanks

zee 28/04/2018 at 11:19 am

I have two jobs one is 24hours which pays £10800 and another job which pays £9500 which 25hours a week how would the tax work

TheTaxGuide Editor 27/04/2018 at 12:02 pm

You will not pay tax if you earn less than £11,850 (for April-April 2018/19).

B 20/04/2018 at 11:43 pm

If i work two jobs. 16 hours each in both. How does my tax situation work? Im currently working 16 hours and soon will start a second job at 16 hours also. But i will still earn less than the £11,500 a year.

TheTaxGuide Editor 19/04/2018 at 10:43 am

You will pay tax at 20% on your second job if you earn over £11,850 on your first and second job combined.

V c 18/04/2018 at 5:57 pm

I’ve got a full time job and a second job
On my second job I work 10 hrs a week
Do I pay tax on the second job

TheTaxGuide Editor 16/04/2018 at 2:59 pm

You would have to contact HMRC directly regarding this matter if you are earning less than £11,500 across the two jobs.

TheTaxGuide Editor 16/04/2018 at 11:13 am

You are likely to be given a basic rate (BR) tax code if you have a second job. The BR tax code means that you will pay 20% tax on all of your earnings from your second job.

George 15/04/2018 at 7:08 pm

Hi , I have a full time job were I earn 20.000-21.000 £ per year . my tax code is 1150L W1/M1 . I want to take a second job were I will earn 6000-7000 £ the tax for this will be 20%.
What I want to know is , after , my first tax code he will change as well or will be the same 1150L W1/M1?
Thank you!

anney 14/04/2018 at 7:51 am

I have 2 part time jobs. ....both jobs pay me under my allowance for tax but I am paying a br tax code on second job and none on my first........can I put both jobs under my tax allowance? Therefore not having to pay any tax.

TheTaxGuide Editor 13/04/2018 at 11:11 am

If you decide to take up the offer and you are working PAYE, then your employer will inform HMRC who will change your tax code accordingly. If you are working self-epmloyed you would need to register via gov.uk for self-assessment.

Ellis123 12/04/2018 at 2:10 pm

Hi, I've been asked if I would do some work in the coming months, the job would pay 850 a throughout the yr this would be a second income to my current full-time job earning 28kplus .
Please can someone advise how legally this needs to be declared if I decided to take up the offer.
Thanks

TheTaxGuide Editor 10/04/2018 at 3:10 pm

As mentioned in the article, your main salaried job will carry your annual personal allowance, so that once you have earned over £11,850 you will be taxed on the remainder. Your second job will be taxed at a straight 20%.

Swagdog 10/04/2018 at 10:57 am

I have a job that earns £1,127.97 a month (or £13535.64 a year) before the tax man has his bit, I am getting another job at the same time that earns about £4425.60 a year and my tax code is 1150L how will this be taxed?

TheTaxGuide Editor 10/04/2018 at 10:46 am

You will not pay tax on either job until you earn over £11,850 for the year 2018/19.

Kay 09/04/2018 at 3:03 pm

TheTaxGuide Editor 05/04/2018 at 11:08 am

You will be taxed a straight 20% on your second job. Your annual personal tax allowance of £11,850 will be attributed to your main job.

Hi
I have 2 jobs ,should the tax code on my first job be 1150 on my wage slip and BR on my other ???...my main job currently has a tax code of 226 ??

ColM Editor 27/03/2018 at 1:36 pm

@ Bogdan - Once you earn over £45,001 you'll be pushed into the 40% tax instead of 20%. It depends on how much you want the extra money and if you're prepared to take the hit.

Bogdan 26/03/2018 at 10:43 pm

Hi ,I have 1 job where I am.paid £40000 Gross/year , but I want to take a weekend job part time where I will be paid £6000 gross / year. How will be calculated my tax ? Is worth to take this second job ? Where I will pay much tax? Please advise me.Many thanks in advance.

TheTaxGuide Editor 26/03/2018 at 3:03 pm

You will not get taxed until you earn over £11,500, (or £11,850 from April 1).

Boo 25/03/2018 at 10:53 pm

I have two jobs but still earn under £11000 per year. Will I get taxed?

Murdy 25/03/2018 at 8:55 am

I’m considering a 2nd job, My main job pays £28000 and the second job £20000 . I’m confused how much tax I’ll pay.

TheTaxGuide Editor 20/03/2018 at 2:09 pm

The minimum personal annual tax allowance is due to change to £11,850 in April. Currently, if you were earning on the 2017/18 allowance of £11,500 you would pay £248 income tax and £550 in National Insurance across the year. You will pay less tax in the 2018/2019 tax year in line with the new personal allowance.

lk3 16/03/2018 at 9:31 pm

Hi job 1 pays me £6,250 a year and i have just taken on a second job and i will earn £6,500 and my tax code is 1150l how much take will i pay

Zalmai 09/03/2018 at 3:22 pm

Hi
My tax code is 1150L.
Which option will tax me more?
1: Do One job and get 23000 a year
Or
2:Do 2 jobs get 23000 a year (11500 each).
Is the tax man will tax me more because i work for 2 companies even though i will be earning the same amount as if i was working with one company?
Please let me understand this puzzle.
Kind regards

TheTaxGuide Editor 08/03/2018 at 2:15 pm

You should pay £921 per year tax approximately (across 2017/2018).

Esther 07/03/2018 at 7:12 am

Hi I get paid £7262 in my first job and I then took the second job which pays 8850. How much tax should I be paying? And my tax code for the second job is 1150L CUM. Thanks in advance.

Clampit222 02/03/2018 at 5:21 pm

i have two jobs but i'm concerned I am not paying enough tax. My main job pays £45,000 and the second pays £6400/year. How much tax should I expect to pay on my second job as at present I am not paying any and have had two rebates. I am concerned I will get a large bill.

TheTaxGuide Editor 02/03/2018 at 3:11 pm

As long as her wage remains below her personal tax allowance of £11,500, she will not get taxed.

TheTaxGuide Editor 02/03/2018 at 2:11 pm

You can see how your tax and NI will be worked out via which

TheTaxGuide Editor 01/03/2018 at 2:38 pm

You are still earning under the personal annual tax allowance of £11,500, so will therefore not have to pay tax.

Naz 01/03/2018 at 1:56 pm

Hi, i have got two jobs. One which i earn £23,500 a year before tax and the second one £3500 a year before the tax. I am thinking of leaving my second job as it is getting a bit too difficult for me. Just wondering by leaving the second would tht help to get less tax from the first job. Many thanks

Hi, I currently work full time and my salary is £21,000. I am interested in taking on a second job with a salary of £17,500. Can you please explain the tax and national insurance implications?

Thanks in advance

Olive 27/02/2018 at 5:48 pm

Hi if my wife has two part time jobs but the total earnings from both do not go over 11000 will she get taxed at all?

TheTaxGuide Editor 23/02/2018 at 12:37 pm

On a total annual salary of £22,300, you should pay approximately £180 tax per month. Over the year you'd pay approximately £2,158 income tax.

TheTaxGuide Editor 23/02/2018 at 10:29 am

If you earn, £20,390 as a total in 2017/2018, you would take home £17,147 after tax. However, this is if you have already been working both jobs since April 2017. Across the year you'll pay £1,776 income tax (£148 per month on a monthly salary of £1,699). This may differ if you have only recently begun one or more of your jobs, so it is a rough calculation based on your salary being across the full 2017/2018 year.

Needhelp 22/02/2018 at 9:54 pm

Hi I work two jobs first one is a full time at 17,300 and the second one is part time at 5,000 how much will I get taxed.

Hello,i have 2 jobs,for the first one (part-time)i earn 7200 pounds/year before tax ,and for the second one( full time) i earn 13190 punds/year before tax.How much tax would It pay per month?thank you

TheTaxGuide Editor 22/02/2018 at 11:18 am

On a total salary of £138,40, you would pay £39 tax per month. However, your personal tax allowance may change in April from £11,500, so it could quite possibly be less.

TheTaxGuide Editor 22/02/2018 at 10:38 am

In this case, you would have to speak directly to HMRC.

MoiraL 21/02/2018 at 9:54 am

Hi, a friend of mine has have just hired an employee who they thought had resigned from his job, but it turns out he's taken a year-long sabattical so they can retain the funding for his role, so technically he's still employed despite them declaring him as zero earnings from the date he 'left'. I'm unsure what implication this will have on his tax code, tax rate and allowance. I assume they will need to declare him as 'C' having two jobs in 2017/2018 or still 'B' one job only. If 'C', what effect will this have on his tax rate, ie will he be taxed too little or too much and is there any way round this? Any help gratefully received.

Moff 21/02/2018 at 8:39 am

I have a job earning £8840 per annum so I don't pay tax. If I get a second job earning £5000 per annum how much tax will I pay in total. Thankd

TheTaxGuide Editor 19/02/2018 at 2:39 pm

You should get your P45 for your main job and you can send this to the HMRC who will adjust your tax code on your second job to stop you from paying tax.

Sue 17/02/2018 at 10:06 am

I had main job around 11500 a year and 2nd job about 6000 now given Main job up .Do I have to inform 2nd employer that they are my main employer

TheTaxGuide Editor 16/02/2018 at 2:52 pm

You would continue to pay tax by PAYE on your main job and you would pay tax by registering for self-assessment on your second job. The tax you would pay on your second job would depend upon what expenses and costs you would attribute to it in your tax return, so it is impossible to calculate.

Tiptop79 16/02/2018 at 10:00 am

I got a full time job with an yearly income of £15932
and I am looking in to a 2nd job but self employed of a yearly income of 12480
So how mush would my yearly take home be for both jobs

TheTaxGuide Editor 13/02/2018 at 1:50 pm

On a salary of £28,500, you would pay approximately £3,398 per annum in tax. If you take a second job for £6,000 more, you would pay approximately £4,598 income tax per annum across the two jobs.

Samm22 13/02/2018 at 11:39 am

I have a question please. I currently have a full time job earning £28500 a year and have potential of having an evening / weekend job on payroll as well for around £6000 a year. would this work in my favour, what sort of tax would i pay on the second?

thank you.

TheTaxGuide Editor 06/02/2018 at 1:55 pm

On annual earnings of £105K, you would pay £31,696 tax per annum. Your employer will tell you whether you are to be self-employed or employed. If you are self-employed, you can offset some of your earnings against business/set-up expenses which will possibly reduce the amount of tax you would pay.

TheTaxGuide Editor 05/02/2018 at 12:20 pm

Much depends upon whether your new employer will allow you to go self-employed or not.

Robeerta 03/02/2018 at 3:29 pm

Hi. I have full time job @20.000 per year and now will start to do second job for approx 6500 per year. I can choose to be employed or start self-employment for second job. How I would pay less tax?

I have just started doing 2 jobs within the space of 2 weeks my first job is for 25 hours a week and my second job is for 10 hours a week. My second job has tax code BRX and my employer for that job says I should split my tax code with the other job to pay less tax. I don't understand what I should do I have paid £27 on my first wage slip

P 30/01/2018 at 3:11 pm

I work part-time and receive 12,300 before tax per annum. As it’s monthly pay I was looking at helping out for three hours a week on a Saturday at a local store, £25 for the three hours each week. Would I be taxed and if so how much? as this would be declared as a second job.

TheTaxGuide Editor 26/01/2018 at 12:32 pm

Based on a total annual salary of £27,223, you would pay roughly £3,143 tax per year and £262 per month.

Nisha 26/01/2018 at 1:47 am

Hi
I have a limited company and withdraw dividened and monthly salary from it. Dividened is approx GBP 20000 and salary 10,000 GBP.

Now, I am getting a part time job which will pay me around 1500 GBP per month but as PAYEE. How will this impact my taxes and NI.

FatimaG 25/01/2018 at 7:52 pm

My annual on each of my 2 jobs:
full time - £18,775
Part-time- £8,448

How much tax would It pay?

TheTaxGuide Editor 22/01/2018 at 3:44 pm

Tax is not dependent upon the hours you work, but your earnings. If you are earning an income from the work, then legally you would have to declare it to HMRC.

Ann 22/01/2018 at 8:23 am

Hello, my question is. At the moment I'm working a 30 hour job and want to have a second job but will be casual, do I have to pay tax or be charged if is under 16hours?

TheTaxGuide Editor 19/01/2018 at 2:33 pm

You would pay £2,798 per annum tax/£233 per month, based upon a total salary of £25,500. This means your take home pay, per month would be £1,718 across the two jobs. You would pay 20% tax on your second job, which is the same rate as your first. However, your first/main job would take into consideration your tax free allowance of £11,500, meaning you can earn this amount before you pay tax on your main job.

daniel 18/01/2018 at 9:59 pm

Hello. I have one question. I already work for @ 21.000 pounds per year. I want a second job, wich is @4.500 pounds per year, both before tax. Can someone tell me how will the tax work for these jobs,pleasa. Thank you

I have two jobs, one £15,000 (before tax) per annum and a second £3,000 (before tax.) I have been emergency taxed for my main, full time job since August.

I have called the tax office and been advised that I need a P45 form from my previous employer to get a tax refund for the months I have been emergency taxed.

I obviously cannot get a P45 form as I still work part time for my previous employer. Is there any way to get around this?

TheTaxGuide Editor 16/01/2018 at 2:59 pm

Unless you earn over £11,500 per annum, you would not have to pay any tax.

JPK200 15/01/2018 at 9:51 pm

I work two jobs, I am an apprentice at one job earning £606 pcm & £34 per week at my second job (standard employee). Therefore earning £9040 in total across both jobs, will i have to pay any tax at all?

TheTaxGuide Editor 15/01/2018 at 2:50 pm

She will not have to pay more tax because she has two jobs, she will still pay the standard tax of 20% (if she earns over £11,500 per annum). If she has to pay emergency tax, she will be able to claim this back.

Margs11 15/01/2018 at 7:44 am

Hi, am employed full time, have just trained as a therapist and want to work alongside my current job hoping to build up a practice.
Currently earn approx £30k and would be self employed as a therapist. Will be letting HMRC know but could you guide me on tax etc please?

Mejulie 13/01/2018 at 11:27 am

My daughter is 20 and is starting a ta job which is 17.5 hrs a week and also does a sat part time job which is 8 hrs so a total of 25 hrs will she pay emergency tax because she has two part time jobs or pay more tax
Many thanks

ps 07/01/2018 at 8:09 pm

Hi,
I am looking at possibly starting a management company, but am currently employed and earn over £60,000 per annun. I will stay employed as my primary income but can I also go self employed / sole trader without notifying my current employer? the 2nd income would hopefully bring an initial £15,000 to £25,000 per annun.

Thanks

TheTaxGuide Editor 04/01/2018 at 2:00 pm

You will still be granted your £11,500 annual tax allowance. Anything above earnings of £11,500 will be taxed at 20% basic rate tax. Only if you earn over £45,001 per annum will you be taxed at the higher rate of 40%.

Bettyboosx 04/01/2018 at 12:12 am

Currently working part time and make £585 a month, taking on a second job at £93 a week, will I pay high tax for the two jobs? Or does the £11,000 a year come into play? Help!

Sandz 30/12/2017 at 6:52 pm

Hi I am currently earning £1440 per month and this is a full time job, 37 hours per week. On top of that, I am considering to apply for a Saturday job which is 3.75 hours per week and will pay £120 per month. How much extra tax would I need to pay?

Laila 29/12/2017 at 10:52 pm

If I earn 8000 a year from my 1st job.
Would my second job income count in that 11000 tax free(as long as it does not exceeds it)?

Mani 28/12/2017 at 7:11 am

Hi ya I just want to ask I want to start 2nd job I have already a job which year earning around £17000 if I start 2nd job part time so is BR 2 will b apply or not ?

ReaU Editor 19/12/2017 at 2:01 pm

@jacob2012 - you will pay tax on this amount. You do not have to do anything, just make sure you check whether your tax code is correct when you get your first wage slip as you don't want to be paying too much tax.

jacob2012 19/12/2017 at 7:29 am

Hi im pick up just over £1000 per month on first job and would like to work 16 hrs on new job which is minimum wage for £120 a week will I pay tax on this and do I need to inform anyone or will employer do this for me thanks

OKay 17/12/2017 at 3:59 pm

Hi,

Quick question. Got 2 jobs. Employment date will start on Tuesday 19th December 2017. I will get paid monthly but how soon will I get a letter that I will be taxed for my second job? Within a week or something? Because I want to pay the right amount hence why I'm asking. Below are the annual wage figures.

Job 1: £8640.
Job 2: £10,080.

Please let me know soon. Thanks.

TheTaxGuide Editor 15/12/2017 at 3:39 pm

Yes, once HMRC have received the information needed your code will be changed and you will be able to claim the overpayment back.

Zak 14/12/2017 at 10:30 pm

My previous job was £1500 monthly and I use to pay high tax. My current job is now £230 as I work with an agency so they take a cut for my holiday pay. They have put me on emergency tax as they don’t have my p45 details. If I send them my details will my tax be lower as I am still getting charged tax £40 even though I’m getting paid not much.

TheTaxGuide Editor 12/12/2017 at 2:05 pm

You can ring HMRC directly who will look at and rectify your tax code.

Cat82 11/12/2017 at 6:58 pm

I earn 258 a month on my first job. And 440 a month on my second job after tax, because on my second job they are taxing me nearly 70 pounds a month! What can I do?

Zara 03/12/2017 at 6:52 pm

Hello ,
I would Like to enquire about how much I would likely to get taxed, if I took a second job! My current monthly income £1579.00 gross, for 37.5 hours!

If I work 13 hrs in a second job pay rate £8.00 per hour, how much tax and NI would be deducted please?

thanks

Zarina

bmavfc 22/11/2017 at 4:21 pm

I work full time and get paid weekly ,to earn a bit extra I’m going to be working for next 6 weeks in a Xmas job which pays monthly will I get taxed on each job or will all my tax come out of one?

Nicola 21/11/2017 at 1:52 pm

I am going to be working 2 part time jobs (10 hrs and 12hrs) totalling 22hrs a week. I know what i will make before any tax and ni. Wages will be less than £175 per week from both jobs amd less than 10,000 peryear.
I am looking to see if i can work out how much tax and ni will be deducted if any.

TheTaxGuide Editor 21/11/2017 at 12:34 pm

You can claim it back. You would have to contact HMRC directly. At the same time, you can ask advice regarding what would be the best job to have listed as your main job.

Grandma 19/11/2017 at 11:02 am

Hi, last year I was working and paying paye, and also registered as self employed to work with someone needing additional support. This lasted a few short weeks and I earnt £408 in all. I've just done my self assessment and been calculated that I need to pay £259 by end of January. This seems an awful lot to me, so would be grateful for any advice. Many thanks

hannah99 17/11/2017 at 3:23 pm

Hi,

I’m a student with two casual jobs.

The two wages combined come nowhere near the personal allowance

But I got taxed 20% on the second job,
Can I claim this back at all?

If not Can I swap the two around, so I pay tax on the other job instead?

TheTaxGuide Editor 14/11/2017 at 3:42 pm

You would need to contact HMRC directly, you will be reimbursed. HMRC will change your tax code.

Jake 14/11/2017 at 11:04 am

I have just started my second job. Both are part time and overall i earn below the £10,000 tax bracket. However, i have been taxed on my second job. Will i get this back straight away if i call up or will i naturally be taxed on a second job.

TheTaxGuide Editor 14/11/2017 at 11:04 am

If you make your new job your main job (you would have to contact HMRC to organise this), and you only earn £10,000, you would not be taxed on this. You would only begin to be taxed once you earn over £11,500. If your second job takes you over this amount, you will then be taxed at 20% on earnings over.

TheTaxGuide Editor 14/11/2017 at 10:07 am

You may wish to contact HMRC and make your full-time job your main job and your part-time work your second job. This will mean your annual personal tax allowance of £11,500 will be attributed to your main full-time job and your second job will be taxed at a straight 20%.

AC1323 13/11/2017 at 6:52 pm

I currently work 2 evenings and 1 day a weekend (part time) and earn £180 per week paid monthly. I am just about to start a full time job 35 hours per week for 16k a year. How will my tax and amount of tax I pay now be affected?

Phylis68 13/11/2017 at 2:54 pm

Hi, I have been offered a new job which is 22 hrs a week but I would like to stay as bank staff at my current job. Can I change my new job to my first job and how much would I get taxed on my bank staff job as I will be earning around 10,000 on my new job. Thank you

Jules54 Editor 13/11/2017 at 10:14 am

@Jbew - you'd only begin paying tax when you reached £11,500 (which is your tax allowance) on both jobs.

Jbew 12/11/2017 at 8:18 am

I've recently started a job after not working for 13 years.. it's 15hrs a week at £7.50 pr hour, I might be taking on another job that's seasonal and 20 hour per week.. I know I wouldn't pay tax yet on the first but would I pay tax on the second?

Angel68 11/11/2017 at 10:27 am

Hi, I currently work 2 jobs in school I take home £1,400 a month I also give my husband (marriage allowance) £1000 from my personal allowance. I am starting a part-time job working 4hrs mon-fri @£7.50ph.
Could you let me know how much tax I will should pay a month.

Halle Editor 10/11/2017 at 3:24 pm

@Karen - yes, the cleaning job would be the second job and because the hourly rate and jobs are different.

Karen 10/11/2017 at 2:28 pm

I currently work 12.5 hours per week cooking in a school and get 400 pounds per month from this job. Ive been asked if I would like to do an additional cleaning job for an extra 15 hours per week at the same school . This would push my hours up to 27.5 per week. Will the cleaning job be classed as a second job if I'm using the same payroll number as my first job as it's with the same school?

TheTaxGuide Editor 07/11/2017 at 2:50 pm

You will not get taxed on this. You have to earn £11,500 per annum before you pay any tax.

TheTaxGuide Editor 07/11/2017 at 10:47 am

You could make your second job your main job by contacting HMRC. Your full-time job would then be the job from which your annual personal tax allowance can be calculated and if you go above the £11,500 ceiling, the your second job would be calculated for you to pay a straight 20% tax. 1150L is the tax code currently used for most people who have one job or pension. This would need to be changed once you begin your second job.

sarah7387 06/11/2017 at 7:45 pm

Hi
I have just started a part time job working 6 hours a week @ £8ph doing a friend's accounts, my tax code is 1150L. I have also been approached re a full time job I applied for a few months ago and can comfortably work both. How does this affect me? I'm a little confused as my second job will pay more than my first. Will I overpay tax and need to apply for a refund?

Ann 06/11/2017 at 2:49 pm

I've just been offered another job, but my present employer has asked of I would go "bank" would my tax be higher with my new main job or would I need to earn from both jobs?

Hiraneouk 06/11/2017 at 2:47 pm

Hi
I would like some advise.
I have a main job where I earn 29k per year. But since I work only a few days a month and work mostly from home. I want a second job.
I have been offered jobs from 25k to 30k plus.
Can my second job be just put on a BR tax code?
Would I be expected to pay a higher rate of tax automatically?
Currently I have a part time job which has put me on a 985L
I believe I am paying to much tax. Would I be entitled to a refund at the end of the year?
Will just stay on the 985L tax code

TheTaxGuide Editor 06/11/2017 at 2:09 pm

It's entirely up to you. You will be taxed at the same rate as your main job as 20%. For ease, you may wish to make your full-time job your main job and your part-time job your second job.

Olivia 05/11/2017 at 8:27 pm

Hi I currently work 8.75 hours a week at £7.50 an hour and will be starting a full time job tomorrow which will be 38 hours a week at £7.50 an hour rising to £8 after 4 weeks. The part time job is a 5.30pm start and the new one is a 5pm finish so I can still do the part time job I’m just wondering about tax etc? Is it worth me still doing the part time one or just sticking to the full time one? Thanks

Jmart94 03/11/2017 at 11:26 pm

Hiya. I am a full time mum and work pt only I have one job where I earn £3,300 per year and I'm about to take on another job where I will get paid the same amount (9 hours a week at minimum wage for both jobs)
Meaning I will only get paid per year £6,600, will I get taxed on this? Thanks

TheTaxGuide Editor 02/11/2017 at 2:55 pm

Much depends upon how much you will earn through the two jobs. The standard Personal Allowance is £11,500, which is the amount of income you don’t have to pay tax on. Anything you earn over this amount is taxable at 20%.

TheTaxGuide Editor 02/11/2017 at 2:12 pm

Yes, your annual personal tax allowance will be allowed for in your main job and anything you earn in your second job will be taxed at 20%.

TheTaxGuide Editor 02/11/2017 at 12:25 pm

If you earn £23,000 over the current year, you would bring home £18,921 (£1,577 per month. Over the year you'll pay approximately £2,298 income tax and £1,780 in National Insurance.

Liamf 01/11/2017 at 11:42 pm

Hi, I currently have a full time job earning 25k and am taking on a second job earning roughly 11k, will my salary and tax remain the same on my current job An just charged 20% tax on my second job ?

green fish 01/11/2017 at 10:41 am

hi im currently working part time earning average 11,000 a year n want to on another paet time job which pays 12,000 hiw will my tax and NI work out for both jobs

Nate 31/10/2017 at 5:39 pm

I currently work 10 hours a week but am considering getting another 10 hour a week job along side my original job. How will this affect me with tax??

TheTaxGuide Editor 30/10/2017 at 12:24 pm

You would pay the same amount of tax you pay on your current job. If you earn less than £11,500 per year and don't pay tax, only if by taking the job and it takes you over your annual personal allowance would you begin paying tax. If you want a rough calculation, you would have to let me know what your annual gross salary including your part time work is likely to be and we can work it out.

Prissy 29/10/2017 at 10:54 am

I work FT earning 39000 PA and I have been offered a PT opportunity earning 8300 PA. How will my tax be worked out?? Will my main salary remain the same and the extra salary be taxed at BR?

Hilly bob 28/10/2017 at 10:21 am

I work full time which is 38 hours per week at minimum wage. I'm thinking of taking on a part time job on a Sunday for four hours a week at minimum wage what tax would I pay on the second job and would it be worth taking this job x

Sam 26/10/2017 at 12:56 pm

Hi
I just want to get this right
My first job is £22000 a year
My second job is £9,836.4 a year

All total £31,836.4 before tax
Then I’ll pay tax from £31,836.4 (20%)
Which is will be £ 6,367.28
I’ll end up with £ 25,469.12

Is this right ..?

Nic 24/10/2017 at 9:26 pm

I have 3 jobs but earn less than £11000 for all combined. Will I or should I pay tax??
I currently am for my 3rd job but not sure if I should be
Thanks

Ann 24/10/2017 at 3:24 am

Hi I earn £26000.00 on my first job thinking of starting another job earning &17000.00 I know I b taxed 40% but will this show up on my job earning £17000.00

Davehuff 23/10/2017 at 6:12 pm

Hi, I am drawing a fire service pension of around £22000 and have started a new job earning a further £33000.
I am aware that earnings over £47000 are taxed at 40% but have been told that the whole of one of these two incomes will be taxed at 40% rather than just the £8000 that I am earning over the threshold. Is this correct?

MeganLouise 22/10/2017 at 9:09 pm

Hiya. I'm working full time now. Doing 3 weeks of 42 hours and 1 week of 28 hours. Which works out at 154 hours a month. But I want to take on another job on my day off and weekends. But just 6 hours Saturday and 6 hours Sunday and then if they ever needed me covering anywhere. What would the tax be on it? Is it worth doing it? Or would more money be taken away from me? Thanks x

Beth 21/10/2017 at 9:29 am

Hi, I have a full time Monday to Friday job but I'm looking to start working on an agency to get some extra money and be paid weekly. I'll earn under £34000 a year with both jobs, will I be taxed more on my second job? Or will it stay the same?

TheTaxGuide Editor 20/10/2017 at 2:49 pm

If you earn under
£45,000 gross from both jobs, then you will pay 20% tax on your gross earnings. If you earn £45,001 gross, then you will put you in the 40% tax bracket.

Sam 19/10/2017 at 9:56 pm

Hi
Im considering getting a 2nd job to pay off a few loans eondeting if its worthwhile.
Main job earns 34808 gross
Aim to find p/time job earning £450pm after tax.
How much tax ill i need to pay for 2nd job?

TheTaxGuide Editor 17/10/2017 at 2:23 pm

Yes, it is normal that you would get taxed on two jobs, if you are likely to earn over £11,500. If you earn over £11,500 pa on your usual job, then you would pay tax on both.

Nic 13/10/2017 at 6:16 pm

I currently work 2 part time jobs, one being 16 hours per week and the other 16-20 hours, however I am getting taxed on both of them, is this normal? Thansk

TheTaxGuide Editor 12/10/2017 at 12:53 pm

You should be taxed at 20%, unless your second job takes you above £45,001 which would put you in the higher rate tax threshold.

TheTaxGuide Editor 12/10/2017 at 12:50 pm

For a DO tax code, all your income from this job or pension is taxed at the higher rate and is usually used if you’ve got more than one job or pension. You should be taxed at 40%. You may wish to double check directly with HMRC if you are paying at additional rate tax levels of 45%.

TheTaxGuide Editor 12/10/2017 at 9:39 am

Yes, that is correct, please see gov.uk link here for more information.

Jo 11/10/2017 at 10:42 pm

Hi, in my main job I earn a salary of £40,000 per year plus £5,000 per year car allowance. I have just taken on a second job that is paid hourly and I'm doing roughly about 20 hours a week at £7.65 per hour. I am being charged over 40% tax on my second job. This week I was paid £363.38 from my second job (2 weeks worth) and I have been taxed £166.80 with £5.88 NI. That's approx 46% before NI. My tax code on my second job is D0. Is this correct?

Marrrtty 11/10/2017 at 7:35 pm

Hi I am reducing my hours on my main job to 12 and starting a new job for 18hrs how do I change my tax allowance to my second job?
The tax office told me to fill in a p46 but that form does not include theze details

Thank you

Armo1 11/10/2017 at 5:36 pm

Hi,
I pay the lower threshold (20%) for my one and only job. However I will be getting paid next month for a one off job (I will only be paid around £100).

Will I be charged 20% tax for the one of job? Will it effect my tax for my one and only job - basically will HMRC mess it up and tax me more than the normal 20%?

Thanks

donna 11/10/2017 at 1:40 pm

Hi I work part time 14hrs per week and looking to become an avon rep so not sure of total earnings my 1st job is approx 8500. Am i right in understanding if both jobs come under 11500 i will not pay tax?? many thanks

TheTaxGuide Editor 06/10/2017 at 12:14 pm

It would be more accurate/easier to calculate if you could provide the average figure of your first wage before deductions.

freddyb 05/10/2017 at 6:04 pm

Hello,

My partner is self employed as a main job and is thinking of taking a second job where his taxes and contributions will be debited directly from his wages. what percentage of his income can he expect to be deducted for taxes and social security and what influence will this have on his main self employed job tax credit? Thanks F.

TheTaxGuide Editor 05/10/2017 at 1:43 pm

It's unlikely. Much depends upon how much you earn. If you earn under £11,500 per annum, you will not get any tax taken from you.

Sonny 04/10/2017 at 3:02 pm

Hi I'm am currently working in care on bank I have 2 jobs but it totals up to 16 hours a wk doing both, will i get much tax took off me? Thanks

dels 03/10/2017 at 10:37 pm

Hi, i currently work around 45 hours a week and roughly bring home £1500 a month, it always changes as i am paid by the hour. However, I am just about to start working on my days off for my dad around 10 hours a week at £9 per hour on a PAYE basis. How much tax will i pay on both jobs? What will my monthly income be if i take home £1500 after deduction from my normal job added with £360 before deductions from my dad.

Thanks

TheTaxGuide Editor 03/10/2017 at 12:27 pm

If you go self-employed, then you would fill out your own tax return on an annual basis. This means, you would pay your own tax on this job. However, you would pay less tax if you can put this amount to expenses related to having the job, such as petrol etc

Loopy 02/10/2017 at 9:15 pm

Hi I have a full time job I bring home £1200 a month. Pay all my contributions etc.
I have been thinking of doing a little job in the evening earning around £30-£50 a week. The lady I would be working for would like me to go self employed. So would I pay tax etc on that small amount each week?!!!!
Thanks

Smabz 29/09/2017 at 9:07 am

Hi, I currently work in the local authority and pick up approximately 1800 per month
I currently have a second job working sat/sun on 8.45 per hour working 3 hours each day
I have received my latest pay slip with no tax or national insurance payments

Casi Editor 29/09/2017 at 2:50 pm

@Fitzy - you wont be taxed heavily on it, just at the same rate as if you were earning more money.

Fitzy 29/09/2017 at 12:45 am

Hi, I earn around £21,000 a year in the Northern Ireland Civil Service. I'd like to take a casual short term job for a period of 4 weekends for Royal Mail in the run up to Christmas. It's 10 hours Sat and Sun. Which is 20 x 4 weekends equalling 80 hours. The rate is £8.30 an hour for Sat and £9.30 an hour on Sunday. Would I be taxed heavily on this, as I'd like to know if its even worth taking in the first place?

TheTaxGuide Editor 26/09/2017 at 2:15 pm

At a maximum (if you earn £200 every month for 12 months of the year) then you would be on a combined salary of £20,900. This means you would pay approximately £1,878 tax per year and £157 per month.

Strawberry 26/09/2017 at 4:14 am

I am on a salary of 18,500 a year in my full time job but I am taking shifts in a bar roughly about 25 hours a month on minimum wage so not even £200 a month. How much will I be taxed having both of these jobs?

TheTaxGuide Editor 18/09/2017 at 2:57 pm

In all cases where you feel you have been taxed wrongly, you should contact HMRC directly.

TheTaxGuide Editor 18/09/2017 at 2:41 pm

If you are earning £261, per week in total, you can expect to pay approximately £8 per week tax and £12 per week NI.

Shaz 17/09/2017 at 12:28 pm

I work full time 35hrs a week in my first job and took on a second job of working 3hrs on a Saturday night will I get taxed extra for working 3 hors in an extra job

Isla 16/09/2017 at 8:01 am

Hi
I'm currently been working 16 hours week in a shop. But just cut it down to just a 5hour shift as iv taken a second job somewhere else for 12 hours week.

So both job together = 17 hours week

Nic 16/09/2017 at 1:18 am

Hi my name is nicole. Im 21. can someone help. Much tax would I pay. In my first job of 17.5 hrs I would earn 155.93 and in my second job of 15hrs i would earn 105.75. Much tax and national insurance would i pay a week or a month?

TheTaxGuide Editor 15/09/2017 at 3:10 pm

If you’re on an emergency tax code your payslip will show: 1150 W1, 1150 M1 or 1150 X. You can see more which

Ninita 12/09/2017 at 3:13 pm

Hi i am thinking to start second job. I have full time one but at the moment i cant work more than 25-30 hours per week. I want to start another part time for 25 hours per week.So 2 jobs each around 25 max 30hours per week. How i will be charged for tax? How much i will be paying?

TheTaxGuide Editor 12/09/2017 at 2:52 pm

Will your partner be classed as PAYE employed or self-employed in this new position?

Lizzy 11/09/2017 at 10:56 pm

Hi my partner works 40 hrs a week during day and brings home approx 250pw he iswanting to start a dj job which will be approx 1 disco every couple of months or less not sure at moment at say 200 per night as again not sure what ppl will pay ect so just wondered how would this effect his tax yearly. Could you please advise. Thanks in advance.

TheTaxGuide Editor 11/09/2017 at 3:19 pm

The rate of tax you pay depends on your total income of both jobs. You would then subtract your personal annual tax allowance to find out which tax bracket you fit into.

jamesrl 09/09/2017 at 1:00 pm

Hi, after some advice. In my main job I earn £41,025, I am taking a second job which will take me to £45,057. This is above the £45,000 threshold and into the 40% tax bracket. Will I just get taxed 40% on my second job, or both? Also can anyone advise what my tax code may be for the second job? Will my tax code from my main job change from 1150L?
Many thanks for help and advice.

Lauraa 08/09/2017 at 1:05 pm

Hello, I am doing an apprenticeship , this is my first job. I have started my second job this is working in a factory and I worked there last week for 15 hours. ln the future I will be working just one day it will be 7.5 hours per week. From last week I've got £84.75 as I was working 7.5 hours x 2 days total=15 hours x minimum wages £7.05 per hour total= £105.75. Payslip shows that they took from me quite a lot taxes. If I work one day per week and it will be 7.5 hours, Will I still be taxes on my wages?

TheTaxGuide Editor 08/09/2017 at 10:56 am

Much will depend upon whether your partner is self-employed in his second job. It is also difficult to estimate if you do not know the exact wage he will be earning and what his gross pay on his main job is.

TheTaxGuide Editor 07/09/2017 at 3:11 pm

You would pay approximately £138 per month in income tax and £116 in NI.

Lizzy 07/09/2017 at 2:33 pm

Hi
I work 25 hrs in my main job and get £1,000 a month and hope to work 18hrs in a second job and get £162 a week so & 648 a month. With both jobs combined can you please work out how much tax and NI I will be paying?

TheTaxGuide Editor 05/09/2017 at 2:04 pm

This would bring your total annual income to £19,231. You would therefore pay approximately £1,544 on this amount per year.

EntrancedTundra23 02/09/2017 at 4:26 pm

Hi, I'm currently doing 12 hours at 8.30ph at old job but have taken on an evening job 12.30 7.90ph will I still get taxed and if so will it be slot?
Thanks :D

TheTaxGuide Editor 01/09/2017 at 3:37 pm

Yes, that would be a correct approximate calculation.

Annabs 01/09/2017 at 9:42 am

Hi in my first job I earn 9439 and starting a new second job where I will earn 9792 so how much will I get taxed? Thanks

Louise 01/09/2017 at 4:51 am

Hi.

If I had my main job 18 hours a week earning 9132 and one working 16 hours earning 5546 so overall 14,678 how much would I be taxed?

Thinking of working 2 jobs as opposed to the main one working 30 hours (due to new opportunity)

I have my figures showing annually the first is working 30 hours is 15220.80 from this monthly take home is 1135.82 being taxed approx 62 a month (annual tax approx 744.16)

With the two jobs it'll be annually 14678. Monthly take home approx 1105.06 being taxed approx 52 a month (annual tax 635.60)

Is that correct? Or near about?

Thanks

Ben10 31/08/2017 at 9:34 pm

Hi. So I work 37.5 a week earning 18,000 a year. So second job which I will only do 7 hours per week and salary is 21,000. Do I have to state which is my first and second job? Also how much will I be taxed at both jobs?

Many Thanks

TheTaxGuide Editor 31/08/2017 at 2:16 pm

The job considered your main job, will be the job your annual personal tax allowance will be allocated to.

Jess 31/08/2017 at 7:59 am

I currently work part time, most I've earnt in a month is £850, have only early £4500 for year so far. I'm possibly taking on a second job but again between the two it won't make me earn over the £11500 allowance, when I started my current employment I was emergency taxed as they hadn't sorted my p45 out, will I get taxed even if emergency if I get the second job?

Sambo1991 30/08/2017 at 8:14 pm

Hi, I've just taken on a new job at 37 hours a week. 8.50ph. My old job I will still be doing 10 hours a weekend at 12.58ph. Can you help me work out what job to split the majority of the allowance with please.

TheTaxGuide Editor 29/08/2017 at 11:07 am

If you are earning £120 per week extra across 52 weeks per year this would add an extra £6240 per annum to your salary. This would give you an overall salary of £28,240. You would pay approx £3,346 pa tax across the two jobs. You currently pay (approx) £2,098 per annum. Currently you pay £175 tax per month. Based upon you working this new job every weekend throughout the year, you would pay approx £279 per month in tax across the two jobs - but remember you will also have a healthy uplift in your total monthly wage.

Daniellew 27/08/2017 at 11:01 am

Hey!

I currently work 39 hours a week and make 22,000. I am looking at taking a part time job at the weekend working max 16 hrs at 7.50 an hour. What would my tax code be and how much would be taken off each pay? Is it worth it to work extra?

Trot 27/08/2017 at 8:03 am

I have a full time job and this weekend I've done some extra hours around 16-18 hours in a bar.. however this is just a one off.. will my tax code automatically change and will I get taxed much on this ? If so will they leave it on the new tax code and think I have two jobs next month ?

TheTaxGuide Editor 25/08/2017 at 2:38 pm

If you are earning £42,000 per year, you would pay £6,098 in total tax per year across both wages.

TheTaxGuide Editor 25/08/2017 at 10:12 am

You will remain tax free if you earn under £11,500.

Willi 25/08/2017 at 1:05 am

I earn 32.000 per year I've been offered a second job working weekends which would be 10.000 per year how much tax will I have to pay on that 10.000

TheTaxGuide Editor 24/08/2017 at 12:33 pm

You would pay £39 per week tax based on you being paid £420 in total per week across 52 weeks per year. However, this may vary as much depends upon whether your second job is classed as being self-employed and/or if the wage fluctuates. Therefore, this is an approximate estimation.

Crossi 24/08/2017 at 10:06 am

I work 20 hours for my new job and will earn 8,481 annually and 5.5 hours for my first job and will earn 2,102. Overall this is under the 11,500 personal allowance, will I still get taxed at the basic rate or will I be tax free as I still earn under 11,500

Mandy 23/08/2017 at 7:04 pm

I have a main job at 42 hours a week at 8.10 and hour £340 a week before tax iv taken on a second job as such doing hair at my place of work 4 hours on a fri afternoon I ruffly get £78 a week depending what I do what will I get taxed on that as a second job thanks

TheTaxGuide Editor 21/08/2017 at 10:41 am

You will get taxed on any earnings over £11,500, which is your annual personal tax allowance. So, when the wages from your second job are added to the wages from your first, you will get taxed.

fran91 19/08/2017 at 9:48 am

Hi,

I work full-time in one job and have just taken on a 6-hours per week job at £8.50 p/h - so an extra £200 a month. Will I be taxed on this - and if so, how much? My full time salary is 22200.
According to the UK Tax Calculater link, I shouldn't get taxed on the second job but that sounds too good to be true.

Mrs Moo 14/08/2017 at 2:53 pm

Hello I have a support worker who currently works 10 hours a week with my project on 8.65 an hour which is £4498. He has then started some sessional work with one of our partnerships working 3 hours per week on the same hourly rate which is £1349.4.

So the combined income is £5847.4. Will he be taxed on his second job? If yes will he get the tax back because he earns less than £11000?

Thanks

Choclover 14/08/2017 at 8:04 am

Question: I currently have a job which I do 25 hours a week at £9 per hour and don't pay tax. I'm starting a second job in September that is for 10 hours a week at £8 per hour. Could you tell me how much I will get taxed on my second job and if I'll get taxed on my first job too. Thanks

marsbar 13/08/2017 at 5:47 pm

Question... I currently work 16.5 hours a week at £7.50 an hour. Ive just accepted a second job 12 hours a week at £7.50. Total 28.5 Hours a week. Would I pay tax & national insurance. Thanks

Carly 11/08/2017 at 4:33 pm

Hi! I had one job but a month ago the company got taken over and we had a new pay rate of £8. I do 5 hours per day in this job and work 5 days a week. Then I got a second job around the same time, the pay is £7.50 and I do 3 hours a day 5 days a week. I think roughly my wage for the month is £1250 for the two jobs combined. I've been told I will be taxed £700 from my main income job which will leave me with £100 this month. I don't know if she meant annually or monthly I'll be taxed this. I get paid £800 in my main job and £450 in my other one. I've received a payslip yesterday from the £450 job and it's said I'm getting taxed £27, which was the same as last month.

What I'd like to know is because it's my second month with two jobs will I get taxed the £700? From my £800 income job? Because it sounds ridiculous to me there will literally be no point in working if I only receive £100 from my £800 job haha

TheTaxGuide Editor 10/08/2017 at 2:27 pm

Based upon a salary of £15, 652 you would pay approximately £69 tax and £75 NI per month.

Loz 09/08/2017 at 6:46 pm

I have been offered a second job it will be 20 hours a week at 8.45 hour and my first job is 16 hours at 8.25 hour its 6.864 a year but with both I think it's about 15.652. How much tax and NI will be taken from this. Thank you

TheTaxGuide Editor 08/08/2017 at 2:47 pm

You would pay approximately £233 per month in tax and have an approximate take home pay of £1,718. I hope this answers your question.

JakeY509 08/08/2017 at 12:06 am

Hi, I used the take home pay calculator on moneysupermarket and it came out that I would be earning less if I worked two jobs instead of just one. I have been offered a full time job earning 23,000 a year but would also like to keep my current job working one day per week which would earn an extra £200 a month. This would work out at 25,500 a year with 2 jobs, but would it actually be worth it after tax? Any help is appreciated.

TheTaxGuide Editor 04/08/2017 at 12:14 pm

If you are earning under £11,500 pa you would not have to pay tax on either job.

Ratty70 03/08/2017 at 11:28 pm

Been offered a job at a weekend for 12 hrs at £7.80 an hour, also been offered another job for 16 hrs at £7.72 an hour. I would like to do both jobs as I am really wanting a full time position. Would I have to pay tax on a second job, even though I will still be earning under £11500 - thanks

TheTaxGuide Editor 17/07/2017 at 12:04 pm

You would have to contact HMRC directly.

Helpme 15/07/2017 at 12:27 pm

Hi, I have two part time jobs.One I work 12 hours at £4,492.80 a year the second 20 hours at £10,201.

I just got my first payslip(£850.08) from the second job and my TAX code was BR and I had to pay 170.02 in TAX. I'm assuming I shouldn't have payed that much as my combined income is only £3,193.80 above the allowance.

What would you recommend I do in this situation?

Thanks

TheTaxGuide Editor 06/07/2017 at 3:56 pm

Much depends whether your second job is self-employed or employed. Please also bear in mind this is only a loose calculation as other factors may come into play. Approximately, over the year you'll pay £9,496 income tax.

TheTaxGuide Editor 06/07/2017 at 10:45 am

You can ring HMRC directly for this advice.

Butcherboy25 05/07/2017 at 7:44 pm

Hi there I have a full time job salary is £37.500 a year got a second job at the weekend salary is £14.500 how much tax will I pay ????

sarwar 04/07/2017 at 2:53 pm

Just a quick question,

How do I inform HMRC which one will be main job and which one is the casual one.

DeeDee Editor 03/07/2017 at 3:34 pm

@Sarwar - Only if you earn more than £11,500 over the year will you begin to pay tax. I'd put your Boots job as your main job and your hospital job which is casual as your second job and just have a word with your employer about remaining on the bank staff. Dee.

Sarwar 01/07/2017 at 7:57 pm

Hi there hope you are okay, hoping if you could help me

I currently work on weekends as a Bank/Casual position at a hospital earning around £140 a weekend. From July 31st I will start a new job, a paid pre registration job for 6 months at Boots where I will get £9250 for 6 months. (It is a 6 months job / training ).

My question is during the training period I will not be working much at my hospital job on weekends, but want to still be employed on the system so that after my training period I have a job to go back to when back at uni.

But will I be taxed on my new Boots job (£9250 for 6 months) if i keep both jobs on the system. Could i select which job is my main job with HRMC because of course I would want boots to be my main job having the allowance and be taxed on the Hospital casual assistant job.

Thank you

Thank you for y

M 29/06/2017 at 1:12 pm

I am a student and I have two part- time jobs at the moment. I usually don't get over 800 pounds from both jobs. But this month I have worked extra hours and my pay for both jobs will be around 525 pounds which makes it over a 1000 for the month. Does this mean that I will get taxed? I have split my personal allowance between the two jobs when I started but I don't really understand how it works.

TheTaxGuide Editor 26/06/2017 at 2:05 pm

If you are self-employed you will be able to factor in your training costs as an outgoing expense.

Pooh 25/06/2017 at 5:25 am

I work full time and have started training as a driving instructor at weekends, I have started taking real pupil on a weekend only for which they pay for. I use my instructors car for which I pay a franchise fee of £12 per hour when I have a pupil in the car, I also have to so many hours training myself which I pay £32 per hour, the money left over are my wages. I work the hours 07:00-13:00 most weekends and this arrangement is only until December when my 2 year maximum training period finishes or I pass my instructor test before then. Can you please advise if I will have to pay tax at BR on all of the extra income or can I deduct the training cost before calculating?
Thanks

Wee H 19/06/2017 at 12:57 pm

I just started working 2 part time jobs which I should earn just about 12 grand a year but since taking the second job I am being taxed £52 per week?tax office say I owe them £300 from previous tax year!my tax code is DO is this my debt and 20% or 40% tax

nicobenn 08/06/2017 at 1:35 pm

hamster 24/05/2017 at 4:49 pm

Hi, I currently earn 33.500 pa in my main job, ive been asked to work somewere else as a second job, will I have to pay 40% tax on my second job ?

Chezza 18/05/2017 at 6:28 pm

Hi
I currently work full time 35 hours per week and earn £15k per year. I am thinking of taking on a second part time job but only working 5 hours per week at £7.50 an hour, how much tax will have to pay on my second job. Thank you

TheTaxGuide Editor 18/05/2017 at 2:17 pm

The tax on a second job is often paid through a BR tax code. BR stands for Basic Rate, which is set at 20%. Therefore, you would be taxed at a standard 20% on your additional wage.

Mark 18/05/2017 at 12:32 pm

Hi i have a full time job doing 42 hours a week earning 15,500 per year but want to do a 2nd job.say if i earned a extra 80 per week what i take home after tax roughly?

Yin 18/05/2017 at 2:25 am

Tax is all about the amount of money you've earned in a year. In a year, I mean from 5 April this year to 5 April next year, as that's when tax resets. This year we have £11,500 tax free allowance, which means anything you've earned over the tax free allowance will get tax 20% for basic rate limit £33,500 and 40% for higher rate threshold £45,000.

Tami 12/05/2017 at 10:03 pm

Hi! I am a full-time student and have a part time job during term time, with variable hours depending on if its exam period or not. However, this summer I will do an internship for 3 months, paying £1340 per month and I`m willing to keep my part time job but I will able to work only 38 hours per month during the internship. How will I be taxed during this 3 months? And another question, if I`m not taking the internship but another part time job, and work around the same hours in both jobs (90-90 hours per month), so all together earn around £1300 how it would be taxed? Sorry for these lot of questions and thank you in advance!

ANON 12/05/2017 at 8:14 am

Hi, If I earn 17k per year and take on an evening job 6hrs per week. What tax will I pay and how will this affect my normal wage. Is it worth doing ??

Jules Editor 11/05/2017 at 12:16 pm

@Taloz - your second job will push you over the annual personal tax allowance limit. I'd speak to HMRC. It's unlikely to be allocated until you reach the £11,500 limit, then it might be a bit from both.

Taloz 10/05/2017 at 5:59 pm

Hello! I currently earn roughly 9000 a year in part time work. I am taking on a second part time at 3120 a year. Will the tax code on my first job change or just the second? And will I pay basic rate tax on my second job or a bit from both? I'm very confused by it all. Thanks in advance.

TheTaxGuide Editor 05/05/2017 at 2:17 pm

You will not be taxed until you earn over £11,500 per annum (your annual personal tax allowance). I cannot specify whether it will affect your benefits, apart from to say it probably will if you are earning more money as a result.

Chaz890 04/05/2017 at 9:45 pm

I currently work 5 hours a week which is non taxable, i want to take on another job at 7.5 hours which also is non taxable takes the total to 12.5 hours. How will this effect me being taxed? Also will it effect my benefits?

Zoo 16/04/2017 at 10:20 pm

Hi, I'm 18 and in full time education, but I also have two part time jobs - one 4 hours per week and the other 5. I've only started the 5 hour one a couple of weeks ago and only got paid once but my TAX code was BR and they took off almost £15 of TAX, whereas my other job pays me normally, without taking any TAX. I wonder if this is right as I don't earn enough from either jobs or even them combined to qualify for a BR, which takes quite a lot of money away from me. Is this something I need to sort out with my employers or the TAX Office?

Crbeech 10/04/2017 at 2:36 am

I'm currently in a part time job and have worked there for the last 2 1/2 years I am only 19 and only work 12 hours a week so I earn a little over £3000 a year. Next year is my placement year and I believe in my field a placement is around £18-£20 thousand a year and I will work from august- July. How will this affect my tax if only my first job has a personal allowance, and I want to keep my part time job.

Jodie 02/03/2017 at 8:07 pm

Hi I've just took another job and may have to pay tax I work 24 at my first job and 10 at my other jobs how much tax will be taken off

TheTaxGuide Editor 07/12/2016 at 10:14 am

It depends on how much you are earning. If you are paying tax on a second job, it is often paid through a BR tax code (which stands for Basic Rate and is set at 20%). If your extra income means you are earning over £32,000, then this will push you into the higher earnings tax bracket, meaning you will pay more tax. I hope this answers your question.

Scottie 06/12/2016 at 10:44 am

I work full time 37 hrs per week.jst started a part time job also and doing 8 hrs per week.been taxed 50 pounds per month for the 8 hrs per week.can this be correct

Hi there I have a first job where I work 40 hrs per week for four days and I have started my second job where I would be working 3 days with 20 hours per week. I know that I will have BR CODE on my second job but want to know how is it charge .. In both job I get £8/hr so please do explain me..: everyone say that I will end up paying a lot of tax on second job.

lewisb 31/03/2016 at 10:32 pm

Hi there, in September I will be going into teaching and have a salary roughly of 21000/22000 pounds a year. However, my supermarket job at the moment will allow me keep working on a Sunday shift every week. This will give me an additional 5000 a year.

Could you tell me how much tax I would have to give if I have both jobs.

Is there any point having the sunday job if the tax is too much?

Ritaa 10/03/2016 at 5:54 pm

I currently work part time 10 hours getting 3000 a year but I'm starting full time 35 hours getting 9500 a year. How do I get taxed? Will it be taxed on overall put together or individually? Or just taxed on the full time job? Please help I'm so confused.

TheTaxGuide Editor 02/02/2016 at 12:44 pm

It's a little more tricky when it comes to second jobs as his is because the system is designed to treat one job as your main employment (against which your personal allowances will be given in full) and the other jobs as secondary (which are taxed in full at 20%). Therefore, as well as the information laid out in this article, please see Tax Aid site here for more information.

saiks 01/02/2016 at 10:07 pm

Hi, I have 2 permanant jobs. In one job i am earning £900 a month (working 4 days) which works out to be £10,800 a year and in my second job i am earning £700 a month (working 3 days) which works out to be £8,400 a year. My first job was £900 a month one. I get £869.65 a month from my first job. how much should be the take home pay for my second job which i started recently? and how much tax would i have to pay for both jobs coming to £19,200 a year.

Fayo 13/11/2015 at 9:31 pm

I worked in the same job for 6 years earning under £21,000, with the 1060L tax code, at the same time I had and still have a 2nd job which I earn less than £3000 a year in, I'm taxed approx a quarter of the monthly amount. For no apparent reason in May, my code changed to 880 and now again for no apparent reason my 2nd job has suddenly started incurring 40% tax. Should a 2nd job only incur approx a quarter tax? My income in total with the 2 jobs, is less than £30,000.

Jsak 11/11/2015 at 7:29 am

Hi, I am currently working as a contract firefighter and earn an annual salary of £29500. I am looking to start a second job where I will earn around £150 per week ( £7200 per year) and will be expected to sort my own tax and Ni. What percentage of tax and no would I be expected to pay on my second salary? Thanks for any help.

TheTaxGuide Editor 30/10/2015 at 1:59 pm

As specified by the gov.uk site, whichif a person has £35,000 of taxable income and they get the standard Personal Allowance of £10,600. They would pay a basic rate tax at 20% on £24,400 (£35,000 minus £10,600).

Emma B 29/10/2015 at 3:36 pm

Hi there
I currently work 37.5hours per week but I am looking to take on a second job for up to 8 hours per week (the two jobs combined will be less than £30,000 per year) do you know roughly how much this would affect me tax wise and whether it would be worth it?:
Thanks in advance

Sarah 12/10/2015 at 5:01 pm

Hi there I currently work 7.5 hours and been offered another job 12hours so totally 17.5 hours per week. I have been told by more than one person that it's not worth it because I will get taxed very high

Sarah 12/10/2015 at 4:58 pm

Hi there I currently work 7.5 hours and now been offered another job working 12 hours per week. Which will total 17.5 per week, and struggling to find out if this will be worth it as more than one person has told me I will get taxed very high if I take on another job

TheTaxGuide Editor 15/09/2015 at 2:39 pm

You have one non-taxable personal allowance per year, regardless of the number of jobs you have. The standard personal allowance is set at £10,600, ( April 2015-April2016 ) which is the amount of income you don’t have to pay tax on. This non-taxable allowance will apply to just one of your jobs, therefore it may seem like you are getting taxed less on this job, but this is not the case. You will get taxed at 20% on your second job.

dems221 14/09/2015 at 5:25 pm

I'm 21 years old and working full time in a hotel 35-40 hours a week. I've just got another job as a carwr which will now be my full time job at 35-40 hours but still want to carry on working part time at the hotel of about 16-20 hours a week does anyone know what the tax is like for this and is it worth it?

TheTaxGuide Editor 14/09/2015 at 2:12 pm

As specified in the article, in the first instance, it is important to note that you have one non-taxable personal allowance per year, regardless of the number of jobs you have. The standard personal allowance is set at £10,600, ( April 2015-April2016 ) which is the amount of income you don’t have to pay tax on. This non-taxable allowance will apply to just one of your jobs, therefore you should speak to the HMRC in order to see whether your taxable allowance could be attributed to the job in which you work more hours.

Suzy 13/09/2015 at 3:43 pm

I am 17 have one job approx 8 hrs a week and have just been offered another. I would like to have my new job as my main job which is also 8rs a week with the opportunity of maybe 16hrs a week. What would be the best way to do this so I pay the least tax. Thank you.

TheTaxGuide Editor 05/03/2015 at 12:11 pm

@Tel - you would really need to contact the HMRC directly because you should be taxed at full rate and you will fall into arrears. I hope this helps.

Tel 04/03/2015 at 7:51 pm

Hi I earn 33k on my main job and approx 7-10k on my second job but I checked my second job payslips and its not being taxed. I am worried I have been getting an allowance on both jobs, I cant see any reason why I wouldnt be taxed. What do you think?

MIke Editor 19/02/2015 at 2:13 pm

@Amanda1986 - it would be better if you left your current job, so that your new job could become your main job from which you could claim your personal allowance. You could then re-sign on with your original job which would become your second job, of which you would have taxed charge at 20 per cent. It's still extra money isn't it added on to your wage, so I suppose it's still worth doing the odd shift.

Amanda1986 18/02/2015 at 9:45 am

Hello,
I have recently started a new job which pays 21,000 per year. I have offered to stay on bank at my old place of work, this would be a 0 hours contract just doing the odd shift. Maybe 2 a month. How much tax would I pay for the second job? Would it be 20% tax on the full earnings and would it even be worth my while working the second job?

Thanks

TheTaxGuide Editor 10/02/2015 at 2:45 pm

@jade123 - it is best that you call the HMRC, purely to be able to get them to sort out your tax code directly. As a rule HMRC will treat one job as your main employment, which your personal allowance is attributed to, and the other job as secondary which will be taxed in full at 20%. I hope this helps.

jade123 06/02/2015 at 9:17 am

hi, I am just wondering about my tax that's going to be taken from my wages. I have started a new job which I earn £300 a week in (before tax) so monthly this is £1200. then in my other job which I informed hmrc will now be my second job I earn £820 a month in (before tax) is anyone able to help me and explain how much tax % will be taken from each job? or is it best I ring hmrc and speak with them?

TheTaxGuide Editor 20/01/2015 at 12:44 pm

@solitaire - I think you would have to call the HMRC where you can speak to someone and sort out your tax code directly.

solitaire 18/01/2015 at 12:52 am

Hi, I am currentlydoing casual work with no set hours on average i work around 8-12 hours a month. I am on JSA and the benefits office takes my pay into account, i am not paying any tax at the moment.

I am starting a new job in a couple of weeks and will be signing off, my new job is 20 hours and will be over my personal allowance. Obviously i want this to be my main job but my casual one currently has my tax code applied to it.

Will i be able to switch my tax code to my new job with it being set hours and more pay? And would there be any benefit of me splitting my tax code so i only pay tax on my main job?

Thanks

TheTaxGuide Editor 16/01/2015 at 10:39 am

@ladams - If you have more than one job, you need to check that your PAYE code is correct for each one. HMRC will treat one job as your main employment, which your personal allowance is attributed to, and the other job as secondary which can be taxed in full at 20%. Give HMRC a call for the right advice and to make sure they have the correct coding.

ladams 15/01/2015 at 4:13 pm

Hi - My main job is full time and earns 19000 a year (1583 a month) and I have taken a part time job which will be 10 hours a week at 6.50 an hour earning £260 a month how much will I be paying a month on these earnings - please help

Presently have 11,000 per year NHS pension,work part time and earn 12,000 per year. Thinking of doing agency work. As and when. How will this b taxed.

TheTaxGuide Editor 03/11/2014 at 12:31 pm

@H - The take-home pay in your second job will be relatively lower in comparison due to the fact that your tax-free personal allowance is generally applied to your main job. It would be a good idea to get a P46 form from your new employer as this will allow HMRC to calculate the correct tax code. Also, it's good to keep an eye on things and make sure your right codes are in place so you are not paying too much or too little tax. I hope this helps.

H 01/11/2014 at 2:41 pm

I am reducing my hours at my only job to take on a 2nd job, my current employer will still have my P45, but I will earn less there now than from the 2nd job . Do I need a P46 or should I just call the tax office

kae1980 24/10/2014 at 6:20 pm

Hi. I have a part time job of 7.5 hours a week and looking at doing a second part time job for 8hrs a week. The second job is only for 5 weeks as a Christmas temp. Will i pay a lot of tax on this second job?

Mattttyyyy 24/10/2014 at 12:05 am

I currently have two part time jobs. And my tax code is 120 at one and the the remainder at the other. I'm about to leave one of the jobs and go full time at the other. Will I need to give in a p45, even though I'm already employed? What will happen to my tax allowence? I have paid a large amount of tax at the 120 tax code part time job (which I'm leaving) and nothing at the other which I'm going full time at. Thank you for any advice you can give.

TheTaxGuide Editor 20/10/2014 at 10:33 am

@Joanne As specified on our website you have one non-taxable personal allowance per year, regardless of the number of jobs you have.
The current tax year is from 6 April 2014 to 5 April 2015 and the allowance is £10, 000. This non-taxable allowance will apply to just one of your jobs. However, once you have used that allowance, all other income will be taxed at the normal rate. I hope this helps.

Joanne Skiold 19/10/2014 at 10:28 am

Hi
I currently work 18.5 hours per week. I am thinking of doing something lile avon where I earn commission. Will I get taxed higher because this will be classed has a second job. There is no guaranteed income
Thanks Joanne

TheTaxGuide Editor 09/10/2014 at 1:47 pm

@tee. You might be glad to know that you wont pay very much at all, if any, as your yearly income won't be much over £10,000.

Last year the government legislated that workers will not pay any tax on the first £10,000 of their earnings. It came into force in April this year.

Tee 09/10/2014 at 1:03 pm

I have one job of 15 hrs per week.I am starting a second job 17hrs per week.First job is at £6.50 per hr.Second job is going to be at 6.57 per hr.How much tax will I pay?

I work full time but have recently started a second/ part time job to help with bills and I was wondering how the tax will work as I don't want to be doing 18 hour days if it is not worth my time when it comes to pay day. If someone could please give me some info on this it will be much appreciated. Many Thanks. Jo

clear 23/09/2014 at 9:37 am

I work 2 separate part time jobs, both 10 hours a week each and have been taxed a large amount each month from my second job. I wonder how do I find out if I am being taxed correctly?

Hi, I work 40 hours a week earning about £15000 a year. I'm looking into a second job with about 12-15 hours at £6.31 per hour. How much tax will I pay in the second job, what tax code will I get and will I pay national insurance on the second job because it will be less than the allowance? Many thanks.

@kahn, you can't avoid paying tax, it's legal. You need to fill in the correct form and disclose all of your paid employment and hours worked.

Khan 12/09/2014 at 9:36 pm

I have had a part time job for a while. So I have been receiving the tax allowance for this part time job. However I have just got a new full time job now. I intend on keeping my part time job too. How do I make my new job get the tax free allowance (or what is left of it) and make my part time job get taxed as BR instead of receiving any allowance. I am being made to fill in p46 from my new full time employer. However if I mention I have another job. I will be tax at 20% BR on my full time job. Which wouldn't be that great. What shall I do to avoid being taxed crazily from my full time job.

ron Editor 08/09/2014 at 10:18 am

@shell, if your total salary from both jobs is less than £10,000 per year then you should pay any tax.

Nimita 20/08/2014 at 8:56 pm

Hi I hope someone can shed some light on this?
I work a full time job (mon-fri) and a part-time job on Saturday (4 hours)

I earn around £1000 (after tax) a month with my full-time job.
I earn £140 a month with my part-time job

But with my part-time job I don't actually receive any wage because it all goes into being taxed. When I receive my wage slip it reads £0.00!!

Should this be happening? I knew I was going to be taxed at 20% wit working two jobs but I thought I would still receive a wage for the part-time job?

Thanks

Tristen Bonnick 13/08/2014 at 10:38 am

I'm hoping to take up a second job, however I've heard from somebody that works in pay roll for a company that in a few weeks that legislation will change. Apparently I'll get taxed around 20% on both jobs instead of one. Can you confirm this?
Thanks

Avaya Editor 03/09/2012 at 12:06 pm

@ thatguy as long as your total income doesn't go over £34,370 (tax year 2012/13) your second job would be taxed at Base Rate ie 20%. However you also need to factor in National Insurance Contribution of 12% on any earning over £146

thatguy 01/09/2012 at 5:02 pm

Hi there,

I am currently on £17000, I would like to know if my tax rate would increase if I took a part time bar position?
Working about 2-3 shifts a week @ around £6ph.(would it be worth it?)

@Reggie in the tax year 2012-2013 all earning above £34,370 and below £150,000 are subject to 40% tax. You will need to complete a self assessment and submit it to your Tax Office. There is a guide to completing the assessment on this website if you use the search facility

Reggie 29/08/2012 at 11:04 am

Hi,
I'm working 2 jobs. The second job is taxed at the BR rate. I've now got a pay increase in my second job to over £35,000 a year, will i still only pay 20% tax on the BR tax code?

Sassy Editor 29/08/2012 at 11:49 am

@Tami - no there are no tax breaks for taking a second job. All earnings above your personal tax allowance are liable to tax.

Tami 12/08/2012 at 10:35 pm

I'm working two FULL time jobs plus one part time job. I read where there was a tax break for a 2nd job if it was on the same day at a different place. Can you confirm this, and if so, how much of a break?

Avaya Editor 29/08/2012 at 11:47 am

@Princess Shan If you contact your tax office and explain the situation they will arrange to have your tax code split between the two jobs

Princess Shan 07/08/2012 at 3:01 pm

Hi I have a part time job which I earn abount £3500 p.a and I have just got a 2nd job which will earn me around £3000 - Combined I am way under the tax allowance. Can I get my tax code halved for each job? As my second job is saying I will have to be put on BR tax code, which means I will have to pay tax on everything I earn on the 2nd Job - that will not be worth me working?

Gems27 12/07/2012 at 10:03 pm

Hi, I have a full time job working 38 hours a week and I am starting a new job for a second income which will be working from home. I am insure what the income will be yet as i have to build up customers from which i will earn comission. I havnt a clue about tax and i'm just wondering if and when my tax code may change, what I need to do and who if anyone i need to Inform?
Thank you

hardworker Editor 07/06/2012 at 5:18 pm

@tobabs you don't say how much you earn in either job - but lets base it on £10/hr - so that would be £200 and £180 = £380 so £19760/year. the current personal allowance for 2012 is £8105 - so you would pay 20% tax on £11655 = £2331. You can elect to have your tax code at one employment or split equally between the two by contacting your tax office.

tobabs 02/06/2012 at 4:01 pm

Hi there. i have a first job that i work 20hrs and i have picked up a second job of about 18hrs a week. how will i be taxed on my income on the second job, is it a 20% or more. i really dont understand the tax system. PLEASE KINDLY HELP OUT PLEASE!!!

Hatty Editor 07/06/2012 at 5:12 pm

@midwifetob your husband will need to complete a self assessment form to keep the revenue informed of all his income. If as you say it remains under the higher rate threshold he will pay 20% on anything over his personal allowance which for 2012/13 is £8105.00.

midwifetob 01/06/2012 at 9:43 pm

My husband receives a pension of approx £8,500pa, he is looking for a job but at present unable to find a full time job he has been offered 2 part time jobs one will pay approx 11,000pa and the other approx 7,000pa what are the tax implications as all 3 added together will not be over the 34,000 threshold.

NIC Editor 24/05/2012 at 3:58 pm

@FrankieO Each job has a £146 allowance before attracting NIC contributions

FrankieO 24/05/2012 at 3:32 pm

When you say 12% NI on anything over £146, is that only for the second income or that be the combined income per week.

Many thanks

To pay National Insurance and tax on your second income you will need to complete a self assessment tax return with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). For more information, go to the Directgov or HMRC website.
