1. The Earnings Threshold (ET) at which point you pay NI is �100 per week.

2. If you have more than one job with different employers, each employer has to deduct National Insurance Contributions if your gross pay with both or either of them is above the ET.

3. D is used for contracted-out (of State Second Pension) Class 1 NI Contributions and A for not contracted-out Class 1 NI Contributions.
