The top slice of £77,000 falls in the Scottish advanced rate band at 45%. National Insurance of £3,550.60 is the same across the UK, because Scotland sets its own income tax but not National Insurance.

Outside Scotland nothing changes: on £77,000 the take home is £55,217.40 in both 2025/26 and 2026/27, because the personal allowance, the tax bands and the National Insurance thresholds for England, Wales and Northern Ireland are the same in both years. In Scotland the take home on £77,000 is £53,067.35, which is £31.75 more than the £53,035.60 the 2025/26 rates gave because the Scottish starter rate and basic rate bands are wider in 2026/27.
