FREE NI Calculation Service from Ellacott Morris…

As we’re sure you’re all aware, our recent change in government resulted in some changes to employee and employer National Insurance (NI) contributions…

In summary, back in April 2024, NI was reduced for employees and the self-employed. This reduction saw the rate fall from 10% to down to 8%. It had already previously been reduced from 12% to 10% by the Conservative government in January 2024.

When it comes to employer contributions however, the new Labour government has planned increases that will come into effect from April 2025. The employer NI contribution rate will increase from 13.8% to 15%. In addition to this increased rate, the threshold at which employer NI contributions apply will drop from £9,100 / annum to £5,000 / annum.

The Chancellor’s announcement regarding these changes has caused a lot of confusion for employers who are struggling to navigate their way through these changes and calculate exactly what the employer contribution increase will mean for their business.

That’s where we come in!
