Your effective tax rate is 40.8%, but the rate on your next pound is higher: of the next £100 you earn you'd keep £53. Your employer also pays about £27,750 employer National Insurance on top, so you cost them around £217,750 a year.
Part of your salary is above £50,270, so it's taxed at the 40% higher rate and National Insurance drops to 2% on that part.
Above £125,140 your personal allowance is gone completely and income over that is taxed at 45%.
