What's your salary?

Occupation and salary please.

I'll start

I'm a Personal Trainer. £60K

24k, more with overtime. factory worker.

I'm a bit confused. In Australia, carer's allowance is the payment given to parents/guardians caring for a disabled child under 16, and it's not means tested. After that age, a single parent can receive a full carer pension, including a carer allowance for looking after their child which is about $30,000 per year. That carer payment is means tested so if you are married and your husband is in full employment, that payment will be reduced or not given at all if his salary is too high.

Once the disabled person reaches the age of 21, he will receive a disability pension of roughly the same amount per year - $30,000

Carer, £67 a week

@Alondra it’s similar in the UK but it’s means tested if you, the carer, are working & it’s called a carers allowance. If you earn than a certain amount then you’re eligible for a lesser amount called caters credit.

Australia pays a more generous amount for disability related benefits than the UK. Here you’re almost punished for having a disability.

@Alondra @FlamingJingleBells I’m always surprised at how little carers are given in the U.K. 😢 here in Ireland a cater receives over €250 a week and the family can still earn up to €750 a week before it is reduced.

34k
(29k pa +5k for mandatory overtime), 48hrs a week+ 1 in 4 weekends.

Same as in Australia then, if a carer works part-time or casual, the amount of the pension gets reduced. If the carer works full time, she will get the carers allowance but not the pension as a full time wage is way higher.

I think the difference between UK and Australia is how little the UK pays for single parents unable to work because of the seriousness of their child disability and lack of other financial support. In Australia a full time carer for a child over 16 gets close to $600 a week.

You can’t be licensed, but foundation training year 1?

I had no idea how little money carers are given in the UK, it's been an eye-opening this thread.

Ireland has a lower carer pension than Australia but a higher earning threshold per week. I think in Australia a single person has to earn more than $250 per week before the pension is proportionally reduced.

£95K. I'm an academic no longer in the UK.

In Ireland all health care seems to properly rewarded. Junior doctors get about double the salary they do in the UK. We really need to rethink how we renumerate the caring professions here - the nursing/upcoming junior dr strikes are for a genuine reason. The pay here is absolutely rubbish given how hard the work is....People are leaving in droves for Australia/NZ/Ireland

Consultant oncologist £140k NHS salary + £100k private practice

Solicitor - 2 years post qualification - £55k

Rubbish.

I’m a goat. I earn £5938422 a year.

Not my son, my husband. It's called Carer's Allowance which I receive because I'm a full time carer for my husband.

I can't get a job outside the home or attend interviews so that is in effect my full time salary. If I earned any more than that from a job, or when I get my pension, the Carer's Allowance is reduced accordingly.

Not according to this:

Yes there's so much more than just the basic pay rates. There are extras for taking on roles within the trust, and with all the backlog agreeing to do extra clinics and phone consultations during out of hours.
