6 Layout of these tabes The first earnings figure in each tabe is the Lower Limit (LEL) ( 90 weeky or 390 monthy). This is because NIC iabiity ony arises when the empoyee s tota earnings in the earnings period reach the LEL, even though no NICs are actuay payabe on those earnings. Both the empoyee the empoyer pay NICs ony when the empoyee s earnings the Threshod (ET) ( 105 weeky or 453 monthy). But, for stard rate NICs, earnings between the LEL are used to protect the empoyee s entitement to benefit. Where there is a iabiity, the empoyee the empoyer pay NICs at the appropriate main percentage rate on earnings between the Upper Limit (). The ast earnings figure in each tabe is ( 770 weeky or 3337 monthy). This is because empoyee s are due ony at a rate of 1% on earnings. The empoyer pays at the rate of 12.8% on earnings. The figures in the eft h coumn of each tabe show steps between the LEL. The NIC iabiity for each step is based on the earnings imits percentage rates shown on page 6 with the exception of the LEL, ET, is cacuated at the mid point of the steps. Therefore, you your empoyee may pay sighty more or ess than if you used the exact percentage method to cacuate the NICs due. Where the empoyee s tota earnings fa between the LEL, if the exact figure is not shown in the tabes, use the next smaer figure shown. Where the empoyee s tota earnings, see pages 62 or 63. For instructions on how to compete from P11, see the Empoyer Hepbooks. An exampe form P11 is aso shown on page 7. 4
