It's quite complicated. Income Tax is spread over the year as the first £12k or so is not taxed, so they try to use that balance across the 12 months. We also have something called National Insurance through which eligibility for a state pension is calculated and that's calculated weekly/monthly. There are also student loan repayments, and depending on when you studied at University it changes the threshold you repay at.
