Employers’ NI Is Changing — Is Your Payroll Ready?

Written By Lisa Griffin

From April 2025, HMRC’s increases could cost you £615 more per employee.

What’s Changed?

HMRC has lowered the Employers’ NI threshold to £9,100 per year. That means you’ll be paying 13.8% NI sooner on your employees earnings.

  • £615 more per employee

  • Increased payroll costs for every business

There’s Relief — If You Know Where to Look

The Employment Allowance has increased to £10,500 for 2025/26. If your business is eligible, it can reduce your NI bill significantly.

But claiming it—and managing it properly—means getting your payroll setup exactly right.
