What job would have a take home pay of approx £5k a month?

[homestartvolunteer]

I’ve been trying to work something out and just wondered - what sort of job/career makes that’s sort of amount (5k per month / £60k per year actual take home amount)

I just about clear that, I’m a head of dept for a housing company

About 100k per year before tax and pensions. Depending on pension amount obviously. Law, financial services, senior management etc

Senior tech, management consultant, own company

My dh works as a tradesman but in film and TV. He takes home around the 60k mark. Many of the other jobs that work alongside earn similar. So set dressing, painters, props etc. He loves it.

My man is a bricklayer. He earns a bit more than that

Drug dealing?

Senior nurse

Headteacher of large secondary school.

@lateSeptember1964 where are you earning 100k as a nurse...point me in that direction please, I'd love to!

Think some people missed the take home aspect!

I earn more than 60k and don’t quite clear 4k with pension of 7% (and tax/NI). I imagine to take home 5k I’d probs need to be on about 85-90k…

I make that in a good year, but it is my own company (with DH, plus employees) so it's not salary and not guaranteed.

Senior account manager (sales rep?)

I work for an ICB (what was a CCG) and there is at least one band 9 nurse (but possibly more) so will be on £100k. Very rare (I'm a band 6 so nowhere near!!)

Lawyer or finance director

Figures dont add up.
60k after tax etc wouldnt clear 5 k.

Hospital consultant. After about 9 years of becoming one.

Senior Civil Servants, top level ones.

5kx12 is 60k...

I work in technology, OP.

Plenty of senior project managers, programme directors, consultants, senior leads on upwards of £100k.

@UserABC12345 you forgot tax, NI etc

Head of Health and Safety. Could take home
that put plough a lot into pension as over £100k you start and lose personal allowance

Things dont work that way though, not as simple as that.Take home on 60k salary isnt 5k after tax, pensions other deductions. As other posters have confirmed.

What would it be then ? If someone gets £5k per calendar month ? I’d just x12 !! Maybe that’s the wrong way to calculate it

Regular taxes means you need an k come of about £88k- this is without pension contributions
