Payroll giving for employees
Cost-effective and easy, Payroll Giving is a way to give as you earn and support us through your salary. Give more and pay less.
What is payroll giving?
Payroll giving is a fantastic way to support a charitable cause you care about. It’s a very simple way to give as you earn. Every payday, you can choose to automatically give a percentage of your pay to charity. There’s no need to share your bank details, and you can stop or change your payment when you wish.
What are the benefits of Payroll Giving?
Not only is it a simple way to support your chosen charity, but it's also tax effective because donations are deducted before you pay tax.
If you donate £10, only £8 comes out of your net salary and HMRC pays the rest. Or if you're on a higher tax rate (40%), only £6 comes out of your net salary and HMRC pays the rest.
There are also other benefits:
- Ease - It's easy to set up.
- Privacy - We don't need your bank details as the donation will come straight to us from your salary.
- You're in charge - You can change or stop your donation at any time by contacting your payroll department.
Your donations stop automatically if you change jobs or retire, so you won't need to contact us to let us know. You’ll be able to set up Payroll Giving again if your new employer takes part in the scheme. If you're retiring, your employer may be able to continue your donation through your pension - it's worth checking with them.
Additionally, many workplaces offer to match their employees’ donations. That’s even more money to drive discoveries at no extra cost to you.
