From 2024 there are some changes to National Insurance which will see a little more in everyone's pay.
For the majority of workers, that is those paying the main rate of National Insurance, known as class 1 the rate will reduce from 12% to 10%. The difference is quite a bit, for example;
It's not often the government gives us something back and no doubt it will be taken back some other way in the future but for now at least, anything extra in the pocket is welcome.
Class 2 contributions are for those who are self-employed and pay a flat rate to qualify for certain benefits. From April 2024 anyone with profits that exceed £12,570 have no obligation to pay class 2. The rate of £3.45 per week will remain the same for 2024/25 rather than increasing in line with inflation.
No self-employed person is obliged to pay National Insurance.
For those who are self-employed and paying National Insurance based on profits, the rate will reduce from 9% to 8%.

Having worked in the mortgage industry for over 20 years I have always wanted to build a website dedicated to the subject. Also being a geek when it comes to the internet all I needed was time and I could both build the site from scratch and fill it with content. This is it!
