I need to know what £800 a month take home is before tax...........

please (or at least roughly - guessing it'll be on a "normal" tax code - whatever that is ).

Friend of a friend has just resigned from her job as she's moving away, and the hours would be perfect for DH. But before I tell DH about the upcoming vacancy I need to work out whether we can actually "afford" it.

Thanks (oh and just a rough figure will be fine as I just need a figure to put into entitledto for a rough estimate of what we'd be entitled to)

800 * 12 = £9600.
Personal allowance = 6475.
So only £3125 is taxable.
Basic rate = 20%, 20% of £3125 = £625.
9600 - 625 = 8975.
8975/12 = £747.91 /month.

Double check my numbers, I'm bound to have made a mistake in there somewhere, but sounds about right to me.

sorry - I mean that the amount that this person currently takes home is £800 a month - so I need to know what the gross is (I think???)

I'm ok with numbers..........apart from when it comes to things like this.........

and any pension contributions may also be taken off

ConFuschias · 01/10/2009 18:46

clop - I think alfa needs you to do it the opposite way.

she wants £800 net extrapolated to give gross

you are starting with £800 as gross and working out net

alwayslookingforanswers · 01/10/2009 18:47

thank you ConFuschia - you explained what I need much better than I did

£9600 per year gives you £800 per month after tax, is that what you are after?

Wilts · 01/10/2009 18:49

No it doesn't £1110 gives £798 per month

Lonicera · 01/10/2009 18:50

There is a simple tax calculator in listentothetaxman.com plug in a few gross numbers and see what comes out

Wilts · 01/10/2009 18:51

Arrgggghh I will give up, clearly I don't mean £1110 but £11100

Wilts · 01/10/2009 18:53

Eleven thousand dammit £11,000

Wilts · 01/10/2009 18:54

Oops, damnit, and I thought I was being so clever .

Lonicera · 01/10/2009 19:08

Wilts I just put £11,000 on that calculator and got £792 pcm, so well done

Wilts · 01/10/2009 19:12

I used a tax calculator too . My brain can't cope with typing out numbers let alone trying to work out calculations

Lonicera · 01/10/2009 19:17

OK I take the well done back
