In the 2024 Autumn Budget, the government announced changes to employer national insurance rates and thresholds, effective from April 2025. The DfE have announced a grant to offset this increase in cost (NICs: National Insurance contributions grant).
We have created a calculator to help you work out the grant values for your schools for the full period April 2025 to August 2026.
A link the the calculator and guidance explaining how to implement both the employer national insurance changes and the subsequent new funding element across your Trust can be found here.
Join us on 26th March at 9.30am as we take you through how to model the NICs grant in IMP Planner and the options available to budget for this grant before it becomes part of GAG funding in September 2026.
Please contact support@impsoftware.co.uk if you have any questions regarding any updates made to the system. Alternatively, please visit our Help Centre which contains guides, FAQs and articles on features within the system.
