"I bet he spends more than his food budget on beer a week."
Well I did leave something like £80 a week left over.

Do bear in mind - UK tax payments include free healthcare and a (small) pension.Originally posted by Urban Ranger
Ouch. That's quite a bit.
It does seem a bit more than I'd expect though. PA, are you sure you're taking your tax free allowance into the equation?Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street. And some carry Allah in their heart.

Yes, and he's got you down as paying National Insurance on £15,000 - shouldn't it be £10,200, ie the taxable part of your income?Originally posted by Park Avenue
It was PH's calculations wasn't it?
Also - your wages should go up after 3 months, and we're a quarter of the way through the tax year already, so I reckon 12,200 is a more likely figure.
Depending on how you much you have been earning since April.Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street. And some carry Allah in their heart.

You seem to be mistaken- PH said, "For national insurance, 11% of everything over £91.01 per week" in his figures and proceeded from there, and why would his wages go up after three months?
You're right about the earnings since April though- that should give us a bit of a break when we find work.Comment

Yeah, that part of the tax year without earnings will give you a bit of a break indeed...but you will probably have to contact the Inland Revenue to make sure they calculate your tax bill accordingly...Speaking of Erith:

While they seem high, PHs figures are correct. NI is evil.Smile

The especially evil thing is that NI has a ceiling, above a certain amount of money you don't pay NI on it, making it an especially regressive form of taxation. I say it should be axed and rolled into income tax considering it just goes into the coffers like any other tax and certainly doesn't serve as any kind of 'insurance' whatsoever...Speaking of Erith:
