Cause

Resolution

You must break down the figure you enter into NICable Earnings between:

Earnings at LEL
Earnings LEL to PT
Earnings PT to UEL

You need to calculate the maximum amount you can enter into each field. Base this on how many periods you've already processed in the tax year.

NOTE: You don't need to record earnings above the UEL.

▼Example calculation

NICable earnings	Periods processed	Pay frequency
£10,000	5	Monthly

Earnings at LEL

1. Calculate the maximum earnings up the LEL for five months.

Maximum earnings up to the LEL per month = £533
£533 x 5 Months = £2,665

2. Does this exceed the NICable earnings.

NICable earnings = £10,000
Maximum earnings at LEL = £2,665
It doesn’t exceed the NICable earnings
Enter the maximum amount into the Earnings at LEL box = £2,665

Earnings LEL to PT

1. Calculate remaining NICable earnings.

NICable earnings minus Earnings at LEL
£10,000 - £2,665 = £7,335

2. Calculate the maximum earnings from the LEL to the PT for five months.

Maximum earnings between the LEL and the PT per month = £515
£515 x 5 months = £2,575

3. Does this exceed the remaining NICable earnings.

Remaining NICable earnings = £7,335
Maximum earnings LEL to PT = £2,575
It doesn’t exceed the remaining NICable earnings
Enter the maximum amount into the Earnings LEL to PT box = £2,575

Earnings PT to UEL

1. Calculate the remaining NICable earnings.

Remaining NICable earnings minus Earnings LEL to PT
£7,335 - £2,575 = £4,760

2. Calculate the maximum earnings from the PT to the UEL for five months.

Maximum earnings between the PT to the UEL per month = £3,141
£3,141 x 5 months = £15,705

3. Does this exceed the remaining NICable earnings.

Remaining NICable earnings = £4,760
Maximum earnings PT to UEL = £15,705
It does exceed the remaining NICable earnings
Enter the remaining amount into the Earnings PT to UEL box = £4,760
