If you earned 100k in simple terms you can put 20k in your pension and pay tax on 80kā¦so at 50% tax (for ease of calc) you end up with 40k net income and 20k in your pensionā¦ So value for 60k of your salary
If no pension and tax on the 100k then you have value for 50k
And yeahā¦ You can put as much as you want into the pension but tax relief stops at that level so no real benefit
How would a lad who hasnāt been availing of the full percentage of relief go about topping up with a one time amount to avail of it? Say before the end of a calendar year with only 1 months pay left
How much does it cost to bring a Ber rating from say E1 up to a C Ber rating? Iām thinking insulation up in the loft, change out the windows and pump the cavity full of foam.
If itās already that low youāll have serious cost bringing it up. Heating system, insulation in walls, new windows and air tight tape, insulation in attic space and maybe air tight membrane there, and you might need to look at the floor construction too as that may need reinsulating too. You need a BER assessor to tell you options or what you need to do.
