Assumptions

- · Social insurance contributions capped at GBP 176.76 per month (GBP 40.79/week) for employees, calculated as 10% of gross earnings.

- · No discretionary gym/school/LSRA tax credits included as they require separate applications and are not part of standard salary calculation.
- · Personal allowances under Allowances Based System (e.g., personal allowance GBP 3,455) are not modeled here; Gross Income Based System does not use these.
