Rishi Sunak promoted National Insurance cuts in a video using £900 as the example for an employee on average earnings.

The £900 example combined two reductions and depended on the salary used in the calculation. Other government statements applying the same figure to everyone in work drew fact checks. The distinction matters because lower and higher earnings produce different savings.
