Compared with other tax years
| Tax year | Take-home / year | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| 2024/25 | £28,972 | £2,414 |

Your take-home is unchanged from 2025/26. The Personal Allowance and tax bands are frozen, so as pay rises with inflation a bigger share goes to tax — a stealth tax known as fiscal drag.
Frequently asked questions
How much is Marriage Allowance worth?
Marriage Allowance lets one partner transfer £1,260 of their Personal Allowance to the other. The receiving partner pays up to £252 less tax a year (20% of £1,260) for 2024/25 to 2026/27.
Who can claim Marriage Allowance?
You usually qualify if you are married or in a civil partnership, one partner does not pay Income Tax or earns below the £12,570 Personal Allowance, and the other partner pays basic-rate tax. Higher-rate and additional-rate taxpayers usually cannot benefit. In Scotland the receiving partner must pay the starter, basic or intermediate rate.
What are tax codes M and N?
The partner who receives Marriage Allowance gets an M suffix on their tax code (for example 1383M), giving them an extra £1,260 of allowance. The partner who transfers it gets an N suffix (for example 1131N), reducing their allowance to £11,310.
Can transferring Marriage Allowance ever cost money?
Yes. If the partner transferring the allowance earns between £11,310 and £12,570 they may start paying a little tax, so the household does not always save the full £252. It is worth checking both partners’ incomes before claiming.
Can I backdate a Marriage Allowance claim?
You can backdate a claim to include any tax year since 5 April 2022 that you were eligible for, as long as you were married or in a civil partnership and met the income conditions. HMRC pays backdated amounts as a refund or through your tax code.
