Does this pay seem right?

[Primark872]

I suppose I was expecting more tbh.
Recently started full time as a carer, paid hourly.

I did 48 hours of work in March at a rate of £8.72 per hour
Then 138.5 hours at a rate of £9.30 per hour.then i got an extra £34 for something.
On basic rate tax and no pension contribution yet as I'm still on my trial.

Came out with £1280 net for 186 hours of work, and the majority of those hours were at a rate of 9.30, only around a quarter of them were at minimum wage rate.

They work out pay in 4 or 5 week cycles as opposed to a month's worth, but still this seems rather low for the hours I did, and it's disheartening.
I'm NI band A and paid roughly £112.

You are working long hours, Op. Just be careful that you don't burn out.

If you have two jobs you will have your personal allowance against the first job and will be taxed Basic rate on the 2nd job. So as your first job is ad hoc it's the wrong way round for you.

What you should have done was tick the This is my only or MAIN job for your new job and get your personal allowance put against that.

For any work paid before 5th April, depending on whether you used your personal allowance up in your agency job or not then you can claim back the overpaid tax but you might have to physically claim. For anything after 5th April it will right itself once your tax codes are sorted. You might have to contact HMRC to ask them to alter your personal allowances, your employer isn't allowed to do that for you. Or the HMRC system might work it out for itself once your employer submits the RTI.
