To think my pay is wrong?

[skintandtired]

Purportedly on £44,000.

Took home £1992.

That’s not right is it?

Have they got your tax code right?

Was it your first paycheck?

Emergency tax?

Should be about £2750 give or take.

Student loan? Pension payment?

Does look a bit short.

No. I earn a bit less and took home more this month.

Wheres it all gone? Tax? Is your tax code right? Did you work a full pay period?

I imagine there will be tax, NI and pension taken off. But that seems very low.

Not quite first pay check but —was forced to— have accepted a drop in salary

I’ve never been on anything like 2750 due to pension contributions I assume but under 2k seems really low.

Part month?

Do you have a company car?

Seems low. UK tax calculator app says should be about £2.7k. Any other deductions coming out - Pension contributions, season ticket loans, childcare vouchers etc?

Company car? Although I'd imagine it's too low even if you do. Should definitely be more unless you pay a lot to pensions

What do you mean you assume? It should all be listed on your pay slip as separate line items!

Is the gross correct? What % pension contributions? What's your tax code?

Just pension. Christ if they are taking £800 a month off me, I expect to retire in style.

Haven’t got a payslip. Don’t start

I would imagine about £2,600 after your pension

You need to see your pay slip.

How long have you worked for them?

What do you mean no payslip?

Why dont you have a payslip?

Yes, I reckon it should be around £2,700 if your tax code is 1250L and there are no deductions for pension, student loans etc.

Even with emergency tax code BR that seems low.

Did you work the full month?

No- far too low! 49k salary with 5% pension is about 3100

You need a payslip!

Your employer has to provide a payslip - it's a requirement except in a few instances. See www.gov.uk/payslips

Why did you say "don't start" when you mentioned that you didn't have a payslip?

Were you expecting people to understand why you haven't got one?

It does sound like it’s too little unless you chose to make higher pension contributions.

Not getting a payslip would ring alarm bells for me. If they are too unprofessional to issue them I wouldn’t trust them to work out the pay properly either. I think you should definitely query it.

My DH earned just over £30k (he just changed jobs this month) with his pension and private medical insurance taken and normal deductions he was taking home over £2k

I’m on 43k and my take home was just under £2200 this month - student loan and higher rate teachers pension. Yours is way too low.
