Maximum National Insurance contributions calculator
If you earn income from more than employment or self-employment (including a share of partnership profit) in the same tax year, you are usually required to pay NI on each. This may result in you overpaying contributions, although it’s still possible to underpay, which could jeopardise your state pension rights.

New employee tax code checker
Before you pay a new employee it’s necessary to decide the correct tax code to use. This involves a number of factors starting with whether or not they have a P45. In the worst case scenario using the wrong code could result in HMRC looking to you, the employer, to pay any shortfall in tax.
