Why is tax so high on £130,000?

At this level of income, your Personal Allowance is fully removed. That means your full salary is taxable, so the increase in take-home pay is smaller than many people expect.

What could change your real take-home pay?

Your actual payslip may differ if you have pension contributions, student loan repayments, bonuses, salary sacrifice, company benefits, or a different tax code.
