What do you earn …

[Hapideo]

Sorry this is a nosey question … but I’d love to know what people earn! As it’s all anonymous I thought I could ask as it really interests me what different jobs earn.

this is partly as I wonder how so many people can afford new cars/holidays/big houses.

I’ll add mine … I earn 68k … but can’t afford a fancy car or holidays every year. I have my own house, but it’s not big. I also didn’t get any family help so bought on my own with no help for a deposit etc.

thanks! And hopefully the question doesn’t offend anyone!

I work 3 days a week in the civil service. I earn £20k.

What job do you do OP?

65k but work 4 days a week so it’s more like 53k.

It’s ok, doesn’t feel like loads in the way that 50k used to seem like a lot of money. Things have moved on!

I work in HR but probably not in the roles that most people think of. I work on transactions.

I work in a state school in a post on a level with TA, 0.9, term time only. Therefore I earn about 16.5K. I am scraping together money (including what I got in my original divorce settlement) to be able to buy a house with three bedrooms so that me and my teenage son and daughter can all have our own rooms for the first time.

£34k, part of a payroll team

Are you single OP? Kids? What area of the country?

Yes, one DC and midlands.

I earn between 50-60k self employed (it can vary) and bought my home without any help too. I don’t have a car as I live in London. I went on 5 holidays last year and will be doing the same this year, surprised you can’t afford even one on your salary but I guess childcare is ludicrously expensive

I work 0.8 wte as a TA and earn about £12k a year! Looking to retrain into a new career before I’m 50.

Previously worked in the NHS for over 20yrs in a professional role but became burnt out.

54k HR, live alone, no kids, own my house, have savings, can holiday if I chose to, have a car, I'd say I'm very lucky and live comfortably.

Should add live in the south east

I'm a technician in a private school, term time only and 24 hours a week.
Earn just over £10k a year, but pay minimal childcare for my two under 6's and we don't have a mortgage.

We're always fairly brassic by the end of the month but I used to earn more and see my kids less so I prefer it this way.

I’m always thinking about other jobs I could do, as I’d love to change career. I just can’t seem to think of any I’d be good at 🤔

£32,000 and I am a teacher. Although I am living in Asia so I get a housing allowance on top of that. I can save around £1500 a month :)

My FTE salary is around £55k but I work part time so it’s around £44k. Husband is on around £35k. 3 DC. Yorkshire. Bought our house with no help. Have a big (to us) mortgage and loads of years left on it. No family childcare help. No benefits or other help other than child benefit. One holiday a year is a stretch for us. No fancy cars but also no car finance on the two cars we do have. There doesn’t seem to be much spare money these days. We were more comfortable before but DC3 and a house move and the COL crisis has left us a lot poorer and unable to save.

31k senior marketing manager, feeling v underpaid recently 🤣

£18k-£20k pa working 28.5hrs (3x10hr shifts with 1/2hr unpaid break per shift) for frontline emergency ambulance service.

I desperately need to find a different job as struggling to cope on this salary :(

Around 50 thousand pa.

I'd say so! I took a new job as marketing exec for a better work/life balance but also a pay cut. I earn 26K, full time x

4 days (28 hours so slightly less than 4 full days) local government. £37k.

Id say I am paid around 20% less than the private sector but the flexibility the local gov offer is unparalleled.

Just over six figures. Work in financial services (London).

£78K finance role, South, fully remote

40hrs, min wage plus commission
Take home usually between £1400-1700 and I struggle on that

£56k, HR, Civil Service, South Wales
