    Supported employee scenario

    • Uses the research-selected 7% employee social share, not the competing 6.5% source. Levy uses the research-selected excess-only upper band.
    • Only supplied input choices with complete calculation rules are supported; other choices are refused, never silently ignored.
    • **Social security split:** Deloitte and Teamed give employee 7% / employer 9%. Expanship gives 6.5% / 9.5%. Both total 16%. The Social Security Board leaflet was not read directly. The calculator uses 7%.
    • No social security increase was found for 2026. The phased increases ended with the 1 Jan 2025 step, but this needs Board confirmation.
    • **Education levy:** both the 2.5% and 5% bands come from the 1994 Act as applied by the Board. Whether the 5% applies only to the excess over 5,000 (assumed here) should be checked with the Board of Education's calculator. The government signalled a levy expansion in June 2026, but no enacted change was found.
    • MBS for ages 60–69: the employee rate is 2.5% in both sources. The employer share is 0% (Teamed) vs 2.5% (Expanship), which does not affect net pay.
    • Public sector employee rate: 6% in Expanship. The public split was not otherwise confirmed.
