My salary as of this month is £50,483.
Every extra £1 I earn, I lose 51p:
• 40p income tax
• 2p employee NI
• 9p Plan 2 student loan

Yes (good): It cools spending to fight elevated inflation and help prices return toward the 2% goal. Supports long-term stability and rewards savers with higher interest.
No (not ideal short-term): Loans, mortgages, and credit cards get pricier. This can slow growth, pressure stocks, and raise costs for businesses and households.
