About this consultant template
Consultant payslips depend heavily on how you're engaged. Employees of consulting firms see higher-rate PAYE, generous employer pension contributions and frequent expense reimbursements for client travel — reimbursements are paid gross and should never be taxed. Contractors caught inside IR35 receive a deemed-payment payslip instead, where the fee-payer deducts PAYE and employee NI before paying your company, and you'll often spot the off-payroll worker marker on it. At this salary level, watch for the 60% effective tax trap between £100,000 and £125,140 where the personal allowance tapers away; salary-sacrifice pension contributions are the usual fix. This template separates fees, reimbursed expenses and deductions cleanly for either engagement type. Download it below, or automate the whole thing with Ledgerly Pro payroll.
