What do yet paid vs take home

65 replies

bjjgirl · 23/05/2023 21:08

Inspired by another thread, what job do you do?
What do you get paid?
Any over time / bonus'?
What's your take home?

Just because this massively varies, I have huge pension contributions as I am public sector so I take home a lot less than I expected

However I can work over time

So I get paid in flat month 46803
And that comes out as £2658 a month after tax / national insurance

university. £42k, take home £2,300. Our pension contributions are 10% and you can’t change the %! So either you’re in or opt out. But they do put in 20%

Comparison is the thief of joy. Why are you asking? I am sick of this life where people have to know what other people earn how much their mortgage is and how much they pay for their car. Can nothing be private anymore? Is it a jealously thing? How will this information change your circumstance?

@mrsharrisgoestoparis

Jealously??

When for decades salaries have been hidden and women didn't know men were getting so much for the same role and responsibilities?

It's absolutely wonderful that we can talk salaries! It's brilliant we can anonymous talk about what we earn its freedom.

Just as we should be able to ask about book bands without people saying its a stealth boast.
To a group of people we don't know??

Education - take home £1700 ish

springtome · 24/05/2023 22:17

I've worked in payroll/hr my whole career so taking and knowing about pay is normal for me. I agree with PP that we, especially women should talk more about what we earn.
My work biblical sector as a HR manager. Gross monthly is £3,458 and net is £2,507.

OnlyYellowRoses · 24/05/2023 22:22

Local council, adult social services. £25,400

OnlyYellowRoses · 24/05/2023 22:23

P/T Investment bank middle office

Gross £4.K net £2.5K per month

Annual bonus between 12-15K, that included Covid and CoL one-off payments

No overtime

littlehattie · 13/06/2023 11:27

Gross monthly take home is £7100. Net is £3900. My tax is obviously high and then NIC too. I have 2 student loans, one undergrad and one postgrad which is quite hefty

Mushroo · 13/06/2023 11:31

Gross c.£72k, take home about £3.5k. Student loans are a killer at this level! The current interest rates means it’s going to take me ages to pay it off as well.

Also means I’m not eligible for child benefit.

This is the same for me. Nearly £400 a month they take! On top of childcare and no child benefit it's a lot!

£75,000 and take home about £3,600.

I'm similar to this

NoNotHimTheOtherOne · 13/06/2023 11:38

University. Gross approx £65,000 pa (£5,412/month). Pension contribution £530/month, NI £390/month, income tax £905/month, car parking £16/month. Take-home £3,570/month (i.e. £42,850 pa). No bonuses. No paid overtime. No time off in lieu.

Andrasa · 13/06/2023 11:52

Gross 64k a year, net £3820 as my employer pays 10% pension contribution and I have no student loan. Also get a couple of bonuses a year but these go towards holiday/big things and are always a variable amount based on company performance so I ignore these for monthly spending etc. I’m an accountant.

FannyFifer · 13/06/2023 15:57

Gross £37,664 for full time. Nurse.
I work 30 hours.
Most months take home is between £2200-£2400 depending on shifts.
I also usually work between an extra 7-14 hours a week doing bank shifts so usually around another £500 or so a month.
Pension contributions taken from both & taxed higher on the bank shifts as second job.

orangegato · 13/06/2023 16:01

41k Government.

2.4K net. Screw you student loans!

I was absolutely gobsmacked to see a PP earn 72k and come out with 3.6k out of 6k gross. The tax burden is astronomical, and Labour sure as shit aren’t gonna reduce it if they get a sniff of power.

Patchw0rk · 13/06/2023 16:03

Salary is 119k.

Take home is £5,700.

Patchw0rk · 13/06/2023 16:04

I should have said... you take home less than you think once you hit six figures! It's not double what someone on 50k takes home. The tax is a LOT.
