Payroll Giving

What is Payroll Giving?

Payroll Giving is an easy and efficient way to give to the charities you care about from your Gross Pay, it’s also known as Give as You Earn.  

Donations are taken from your pay after National Insurance contributions are removed but before Income Tax is calculated and deducted.  

This means that if you give £10 a month as a standard rate taxpayer, it will only cost you £8 and for a high-rate taxpayer it would only cost £6.  

Check out CAF’s handy tool to see how much a monthly donation would cost you. 

How does it work?

If you’d like to support charities like Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home through this way, first check with your HR or Payroll department to see if they are set up for Payroll Giving.  

If they’re not already set up, we’d be happy to provide guidance or chat to them on your behalf – simply get in touch with us at fundraising@edch.org.uk or download our guide for their reference.

Why Choose Payroll Giving? 

Convenient and Tax-Free

Your donations are taken straight from your salary each month, and because it’s tax-free, your contribution goes even further. 

Flexible Amounts

You decide how much you’d like to give, whether it’s a small or larger amount—every bit helps! 

Payroll giving is a hassle-free way for you to make a real difference.
