At this salary, your Personal Allowance is fully removed because income is above the taper range. That means more of your pay is taxed, which is why the monthly deductions are higher than many people expect.
Your actual payslip may be different if you have pension contributions, student loan deductions, salary sacrifice, bonuses, or a different tax code.
