There are other oddities/bands too.
Between £60k and £70k, and have one child, it's effectively 50% thanks to the limits on Child Benefit. The more children you have the higher the effective tax rate.
This is the so-called "squeezed middle" although, as that graph and the ONS figures show, you're already at the 93rd percentile to be earning £60k so it's far from the "middle".
(I'm not complaining about it, I'd be happy to pay more tax than I do and even more than I would do under Labour's proposals.)
