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 call BS unless you are prepared to tell us which area of sales it is.

I take home just over that after tax and pension deductions. I am in IT

My nephew is a sprinkle fitter clears 4-5k a month. No GCSE’s. No college or uni.

I know, that's why I said at least. He can afford a 2.5k mortgage, 1.5k rent plus bills on 2 places. Plus expensive solicitors fees. He's taking way over 5k home. The 5k was what came up in a conversation on bills.

Qualified accountant in the profession.

Dh is a kitchen fitter & is on more than that

You'd need to earn about £100k gross go take home £5k per month. Law, tech, finance.

Engineer.

That was my and dhs take home each as big 4 mid level and construction management

@Arewehumanorarewecupboards

It depends. I've not read all the pages of the thread or what skills they have.
I know someone with a speficic music skill who made it very big.
It did take a long time but they didn't have a levels nor gcse

Little bit less and I’m a marketing director. Little bit more and partner is a civil servant

If you don’t mind me asking, what area of IT are you in? Ignore me if you’d rather not say!

I am in IT security but have historically also been in Service delivery type roles. I am
a senior manager but not C suite level.

Why oh why can’t you read? The first 5 posts would have told you all you need to know!
just don’t understand people who come on without properly reading the OP!

GP. Clear just over £5k after tax, pension and student loan
gross is around £110k

£92k earns £5,017 if paying 4% pension contributions.

In my field only head of dept jobs earn that much so >10yrs exp post grad and chartering unless you opt to work in the financial or IT sector, then you will top £120k pa.

Hope this helps.

Classic that the nurse gets questioned but not the bricklayer!

Plenty of band 9 nurses in corporate nhs jobs in London on £120k. Chief nurse salaries are higher still.

Tech/Software sales.

Are these people just hoping to roll out of bed and earn £100k fresh from being long term unemployed?

Sounds great.

This is both useful and interesting

£90-100k is a senior civil servant salary. Director (SCS2) level.

Or experienced prison governor of a large prison

60k doesn't bring in a net income anywhere near 5k.

I am a solicitor and take home in excess of 5k per month - I am 25 years qualified and whilst work these days is fairly easy I did many years of horrendously long hours to get to where I am now. I also spent many years in debt qualifying...... I don't think there is any quick fix high income profession

Lol yes I had the same realisation. Won’t be buying that million pound London shag pad any time soon!

What’s a PM?

Senior sales director European division. Half a billion bottom line responsibility. £120 p/a plus bonus. High pension contributions , share save and tax. Take home just under £5 after all deductions.

have 2 degrees, a professional qualification and have been in this field for 15 years.

DH is senior local authority executive. Earns slightly less, very qualified and been in his field for 20 years.
