I don't think I ever paid tax or ni on mine I got the full amount each time

I don’t think I will once we go into the new tax year but I’m trying to work out for March and April

will you be on standard SMP or the first 6 weeks during that payment? C

so I get paid every 4 weeks meaning in my my March I get some SMP, a week of standard work and 2 weeks holiday pay. Then just basic SMP after that. I don’t get any extra from my job x

I'd see if you can work out how much that'll be and then minus the standard tax percentage just incase x

You may be able to find a tax calculator online that can do the maths for you ☺️ might be abit tricky with all the different bits though
