The Director’s Pay Sheet
Every number a UK limited company director needs for this tax year, on two pages. The rates changed on 6 April, so if you set your pay before then, the sums you did are out of date.
- The salary most directors take, and the honest caveat about when it is the wrong answer
- The £10,500 allowance most one director companies cannot claim, and the one change that unlocks it
- The new dividend rates, and where corporation tax sits underneath them
- What extraction actually costs, followed through both layers of tax on the same £100
- Two dates that catch people, including the nine month director’s loan deadline
- A five minute check you can run on your own company today
Send me the sheet
Straight to your inbox. No call, no pitch.
We will email you the sheet and, if the Budget on 28 October moves any of these numbers, the reissued version the week after. Unsubscribe any time. We do not share your details.
Every figure is checked
Rates, thresholds and effective dates are taken from HMRC guidance and the Autumn Budget 2025 measures, not from last year’s blog posts.
It states the limits
Where a number only helps under certain conditions, the sheet says so. There is no free money on it, because there is none in the rules.
Reissued after the Budget
The Budget is on 28 October 2026. Anything it changes gets updated and sent to you the week after, at no charge.
If you would rather someone just did this properly
Tax 4 Pros looks after limited company directors on a fixed monthly fee, from £125. Accounts and filings done properly, and the pay and structure decisions looked at before the year end rather than after it. Every package and price is published.
