Is £67,500 a good salary in the UK?

On a £67,500 salary the marginal rate — the tax on your next unit of pay — is about 42%, while the effective rate across the whole salary is only 26.4%. That gap is why a raise on top of £67,500 is taxed more heavily than the salary as a whole, and why this income keeps 74% of gross overall.
For context, a one-bedroom flat in London averages about £2,200 a month — roughly 53% of this salary's £4,142 take-home, an outsized housing load at this income, so sharing or a cheaper neighbourhood matters a lot.

What a pay rise on £67,500 is really worth
On £67,500 only 58% of the next slice survives, so a rise at this income is worth far less than its headline figure once the 42% marginal rate has taken its share. A £1,000 rise adds £580 a year, or £48 a month, on top of the £4,142 you already take home.
