Pay: £200,000 a year
The Personal Allowance would give £12,570 tax-free, but you lose £1 of it for every £2 your income goes over £100,000, and yours goes £100,000 over, so none is left
Taxable pay: £200,000 − £0 = £200,000
Basic rate: 20% of £37,700 = £7,540
Higher rate: 40% of £87,440 = £34,976
Additional rate: 45% of £74,860 = £33,687
Income tax: £76,203 in all
National Insurance: 8% of £37,700, your pay between £12,570 and £50,270 = £3,016

Take-home: £200,000 − £76,203 tax − £6,010.60 National Insurance = £117,786.40

Payroll gives the allowance in your tax code, so on 1257L a payslip doesn't take off the £12,570 of allowance lost over £100,000. The tax on it is still due, through a new tax code or Self Assessment.
