What £100,000 means for your tax in 2026/27
£100,000 is the adjusted-net-income point at which the Personal Allowance taper starts. If your adjusted net income is exactly £100,000, the standard £12,570 Personal Allowance is still intact; it reduces only when adjusted net income goes above £100,000.
A bonus, taxable benefit or other income can push you over that line, while some pension contributions and Gift Aid can reduce adjusted net income. Read the adjusted net income guide and £100k tax trap guide before assuming salary alone tells the full story.
