Enter your donation amount to see the Gift Aid breakdown.
When you donate to a UK registered charity and complete a Gift Aid declaration, the charity can reclaim 25p for every £1 you donate from HMRC. This means a £100 donation becomes £125 for the charity. You must be a UK taxpayer and have paid at least as much income tax as the charity will reclaim.
Basic rate tax has already been accounted for in the Gift Aid top-up. Higher rate taxpayers (40%) can claim an additional 20% relief and additional rate taxpayers (45%) can claim 25% through their Self Assessment tax return. This is claimed on the total grossed-up donation amount.
The grossed-up value is your donation multiplied by 100/80 = 1.25. On a £100 donation, the grossed-up value is £125. The charity claims 20% of £125 = £25 from HMRC. Higher rate taxpayers can claim the difference between their rate and basic rate on £125.
