This salary is inside the personal allowance taper. Between £100,000 and £125,140 every extra £2 you earn removes £1 of tax-free allowance, so your effective marginal rate is 62% rather than 40%. A pension contribution here is worth unusually much, because it restores the allowance as well as saving tax.
