Payroll giving

Donating to charities tax-free directly through your salary, Payroll Giving, is the most tax-efficient way to give.

Payroll Giving donations are taken from pay after National Insurance but before tax. A donation of £5 a month would actually cost an employee £4 from their take-home pay (if they pay 20% tax) or £3 (if they pay 40% tax).

Payroll Giving allows us to plan work including research, building projects and other longer term commitments.

Over 1 million people donate to charities through their pay and together they’ve raised over £2 billion for good causes.

When a Charity receives donations through Payroll Giving there is no need to apply for Gift Aid, saving them money and time.

A Payroll Giving scheme enables you to donate tax-free to any charity, good cause or place of worship.
