I worked it out as £7,752 (£646 x 12).
Primary threshold £149 * 52 weeks = £7,748
£7,748 / 12 = £645.67. Round it up to £646 as the NI tables seem to allow it.Contracting: more of the money, less of the sh1tComment

13.8% Employer NI is less than 20% CT, so surely it's "optimal" to pay up to the PT?Comment

A salary of £7,748 will still exempt you from employees NIC but you would then start to pay employer's NIC.
Sadly, we now have three different levels at which the three taxes on employed income starts, so employee NIC is payable when the annual salary exceeds £7,748, employer's NIC is payable when the salary exceeds £7,696 and income tax is payable when the salary exceeds £9,440!
These are all based on 2013/14 rates and assumes normal working age, as the figures will be different if you are at retirement age.Comment

Before everyone gets too excited about their rebate:
"1. National Insurance: £2,000 employment allowance
The Government will introduce an allowance of £2,000 per year for all businesses and charities to be offset against their employer Class 1 secondary NICs liability from April 2014. The allowance will be claimed as part of the normal payroll process through Real Time Information (RTI). The Government will engage with stakeholders on the implementation of the measure after the Budget and is seeking to introduce legislation later in the year.
They haven't legislated yet. In fact, by the sound of it, they don't seem sure how they're going to deal with itComment

£52 paying 20% CT = £10.60
£52 paying 13.8% NI = £7.17

It looks like £7,748 is possibly optimal from a purely mathematical perspective, but the amounts are trivial for 2013/14, so it's potentially optimal from an admin perspective to pay £7,696.Comment
