The pension series, as working pages.
Every episode in the pension series is driven through a live page on screen. These are those pages. Each one is frozen at the state it was recorded in, so what you see here matches what you saw in the video — figures included.

A note on the numbers. Each page is a record of an episode, not a maintained
calculator. Thresholds and rates are stamped with the tax year they were built for
and are not updated afterwards. Check the current year's figures on
gov.uk before applying
anything here to your own situation.
