Class 1, from 6 April 2022 (current position) 
 
The primary threshold increased from £184 to £190 per week. This is the amount at which an employee is required to make contributions and equates to £9,880 per year. 
 
The secondary threshold increased from £170 to £175 per week. This is the amount at which an employer is required to make contributions, equating to £9,100 per year. 
 
The upper earnings limit remains unchanged at £967 per week or £50,270 annually and this is the same for both employees and employers. 
 
Employee rates will now be subject to a 1.25% Health and Social care levy and so are 0% up to the primary threshold, 13.25% for earnings between the primary threshold and upper earnings limit and 3.25% for income over that. 
 
 
This levy is also applied to employers and so the rates are 0% up to the secondary threshold and 15.05% for income over that. 
 
Employment allowance (per employer) will be increased from £4,000 to £5,000 per year but smaller businesses only i.e. Employer NI bill of £100,000 or more in the previous year will not be able to claim it.
