Your effective tax rate is 28.1%, but the rate on your next pound is higher: of the next £100 you earn you'd keep £58.00. Your employer also pays about £10,650 employer National Insurance on top, so you cost them around £86,650 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.
If you or your partner claim Child Benefit, the High Income Child Benefit Charge applies between £60,000 and £80,000. It isn't included above.
