Annual income

[misslele]

Can I ask what everyone comes out with a month on a standard monthly basis working full time please. I am wanting to make a career change but I know get paid a decent amount

Want an idea of how much I'm going to lose

Thanks for your help guys

Cheers

But you always need to be reality especially with the rise of everything

Agree but if I couldn’t cope with a wage cut for a career change then I wouldn’t take it

Do you not understand maths? Or tax/ NI? Or the Internet?!
NMW will be £10.42 x 37.5 = £390.75 x 52 = £20,319. I won't confuse you even more with the maths, so using MSE Income tax calculator tell you you would come out with £1487 pcm.
I have no clue how someone with as little common sense has a job that come out with up to £700 pcm more!!

NMW is actually a lot more than that from April

I earn £45k. Take home about £2750 but I do have a student loan so would be about £2900 if I didn't.

But you always need to be reality

Well, quite.

I earn about £26k (pro rata from £43k as I only work three days) and take home just under £1700.

Are you talking about a minimum wage role?

Oh the irony of such a 'really helpful' post being the one that is wrong by quite a margin.

Annual NMW is over £20k from tomorrow for a 37.5 hour week, with a take home of around £1400 pm.

Although many employers are paying more than NMW so the drop might not be as large as that. If you are a graduate, you could look at 'graduate trainee' level posts which often start from £25-30k with no direct experience and then you could increase your salary quite quickly depending on how successful you are and willing to move employers, apply for promotions etc.

But your way of thinking appears to be a bit 'cart before the horse', plus I'd not make any big life decisions until I'd looked at some better quality information than the rubbish people post on here.

Barbara thank you

I am a graduate but

I would like to probably go into teaching so will have to go to teaching assistant which I know will be a lot less

I am going to hang in for a little bit, with the rise of everything and all my bills are on me

If you're a graduate there's no need to be a TA to get into teaching. SCITT, PGCE or Teach First.

£1690

Op the average full time uk salary is 33, 280 which is approx 2,200 a month after tax. Asking randoms how much they earn is pointless. The only thing that matters is can you survive on hiw much you plan to earn.

Average teaching assistant salaries at rhe start currently sit at about 18k

if you wish to be a teacher then trai to be a teacher, being a ta will not make you a teacher.

I'm not sure salary is everything.
I used to be in a job that left me £3000 after tax/NI every month in 2019; it was also residential with all bills paid so I didn't even need to spend the money on a mortgage etc.

I left and currently work in something which is minimum wage, I manage perfectly well on around £1000 a month and do have bills to pay. I'm perfectly happy as it suits my current lifestyle, and I don't have any family commitments to worry about.

As long as you have enough money to pay your way and support the lifestyle you want, actual salary isn't as relevant....

A TA role isn't anywhere near full time though so asking for random people's standard monthly basis working full time if you're actually interest in becoming a TA is moot. TAs are only paid 845am-315pm ish or thereabouts, less unpaid 30min lunch daily, and only for 38w of the year which is then spread evenly over 12m.

Full time teacher pay scales are also publicly available information.

Yes, TA is generally NMW but short hours and only paid for about 44 weeks a year so not a full time salary by a long stretch.

I've never heard of people needing to be a TA to become a teacher. As a PP mentions, there a few routes in, especially for someone who is already a graduate. Also look at bursaries, as these can be quite generous, especially in shortage subjects like physics.

But I don't know if that means that teaching physics is especially difficult or unpleasant or probably that physics graduates can earn a lot more outside teaching?

We employ quite a few ex physics teachers. The pay is about the same as teaching, the conditions are better but we also have the same challenges around pay as it takes many years to progress beyond around £35k and many move on before then.

But OP, seeing as you seem to struggle so much with expressing yourself clearly and approaching a problem rationally, I do wonder if teaching is for you? Something to work on perhaps?

What's your annual please

I mean rent alone I'm looking like 700-750

1260 a week take home.

I would use this two salary comparison calculator to get a more accurate picture of what your take home pay would be.

Some people will be overjoyed to earn £2k a month, to others that’s peanuts and anything under £8k a month is rubbish. It’s what works for you and what you think is good is what matters. Who cares what randoms on the internet think 🤷‍♀️

Op. On an average entry level ta you will be taking home about 1300 or so a month. I am not sure what you’re trying to achieve here. Only you can decide if you can live on that, what anyone else earns is not relevant.

if your rent is 700 alone is 700 odds it will mean a relatively frugal lifestyle as you will have 600 a month to pay all bills and food.

I'm a teacher at the top of the main pay scale (have been teaching 13 years and have been on the same pay scale point for 7 years) and I take home just over £2k a month after tax, NI, pension and student loan. There's a teacher salary calculator on TES website that will tell you your take home pay according to point on pay scale, deductions etc.

You don't have to be a TA first, I wasn't. You can either do Teach First/Schools direct and learn on the job whilst earning and they pay your training fees or do a PGCE, after which you are a fully qualified teacher (still ECT for two years after that though). Some subjects come with a bursary that will be paid straight to you if you do PGCE so if it's one of those subjects I'd advise that route! But obviously you do incur student debt.

@Pizzadreams I wish I earnt that.

Been a TA a decade, work 30 hours a week and take home just over £1,000.

There is no need for you to be a TA first-the pay is appalling and is unlikely to cover your rent/bills. It’ll be pro-rata as it won’t be 37.5 hours a week and it won’t be 52 weeks a year.

Very true, just want to work my way up and can't afford to get no pay at all
