On the assumptions used in the Government Actuary's report on the 1978–19 contribution rates (Cmnd. 7036), the total yield from employers' national insurance contributions, including the National Health Service redundancy fund and maternity pay fund elements, in the United Kingdom for the tax year 1977–78 is estimated to be about £5,800 million.In addition, it is estimated that the yield of the national insurance surcharge will be £1,320 million.
