At this income level, your personal allowance is fully removed and much of your income is taxed at the additional rate.
A salary of £344,000 is deep into the top UK tax bands, so a large share of earnings is taxed at higher and additional rates. National Insurance also reduces the amount you keep.
This is why net pay is much lower than the headline gross salary, even on a very high income.
