Who will pay less national insurance?
From 6 January, all employed people that pay NI and earn over £12,570 – known as the ‘Class 1 Primary Threshold’ – will see their NI rate cut from 12 per cent to 10 per cent.
This means that if you earn £20,000, you will save just under £150 per year and if you earn £35,000 you will save around £450.
If you earn £50,000, you will save just under £750
People start paying NI when they reach 16, and stop paying when they reach state pension age.
There are further changes to come for self-employed people, although they will have to wait until April.
Class 4 and Class 2 contributions are currently paid by self-employed people.
The Class 4 rate – paid at 9 per cent on profits between £12,570 and £50,270 – will be cut to 8 per cent from 6 April. https://inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/money/saving-and-banking/national-insurance-cut-how-much-take-home-2839194#:~:text=less%20national%20insurance%3F-,From%206%20January%2C%20all%20employed%20people%2 0that%20pay%20NI%20and,will%20save%20around%20£450 .
