Extremely Urgent - Please advise

[vikas.sareen]

Dear Experienced Members
I am currently working in the UK. I am seeking some clarification for calculating my previous earnings for Tier 1 (General) visa extension application. I like to clarify some information regarding Pension deduction and Private Healthcare (which is a notional pay item on my salary slip, shown but not paid).
Gross Salary as defined in the glossary section of the UKBA website "The amount your employer pays you before tax and other official deductions have been made."
For example, my monthly salary slip contains following details
Annual Salary (as mentioned on the Payslip) 35500

Annual Basic Salary 35870.9
Pension Adjustment Retirement Plan -1434.81
Gross 34436.07
Private Healthcare 669.93
Taxable Pay 35106.00
Net Pay 25871.9

My question is how should I calculate my gross salary for previous earnings for Tier 1 (General) visa extension application?
a) Is it before deducting the pension which is termed as Basic Salary in my Payslip? or
b) Is it after deducting the pension from my Basic Salary which is termed as Gross in my Payslip? or
c) Is it after deducting the pension deduction and adding the Private Healthcare (which is a notional pay item on my salary slip, shown but not paid) to my Basic Salary and is termed as Taxable Pay in my salary slip?

Please note that to qualify I need to be in 35000 – 39999 band
Really appreciate your quick response on this


Thanks so much in advance
