What it shows
Total pay, Income Tax deducted, NI contributions, student loan repayments and your final tax code. If you changed jobs during the year, pay from the earlier job may be shown separately as 'previous employment'.
When you'll need it
Mortgage and rental applications, claiming a tax refund, filling in a Self Assessment return, and applying for some benefits. Keep P60s for at least four years.
An annual record has a different purpose
Use the year's pay and tax totals when checking an annual estimate. Do not treat one ordinary month's salary multiplied by twelve as a substitute if bonuses or changes occurred during the year.
