What do you earn a month as a mum with young children?

[lilacsky89]

Just curious what is normal/average for a mum who works part time and has young children?

What do you earn OP?

15-20k a month? Nice! 😁

At the time, I was teaching part time. I earned £700 a month, but had to pay £300 in fuel per month, plus childcare fees. I think I was left with £50 per month. It did maintain my permanent contract though.

£1060 per month after pension has been deducted. 18.5 hours per week. Would like to earn more because I got a good degree and don’t even need it to do my role, I sometimes feel like I should be doing more. But I work from home, flexible hours, actually enjoy my job.

Parents who work full time might get ''sick days'' and ''days off'' from work but it just means you are home with the children instead.

I tend to do 3 days a week (might do a few hours in Fridays if busy ). Take home about 3.1k a month after taxes , pension and student loan.

£1900 after deductions. Single mum, 2 primary aged kids.

About 1800 take home for 22.5 hours/week

2 kids under 5 and husband works full time.

Sorry - presumably your kids go to school like mine (one is in nursery but the point remains). So if I’m ill and it’s not a school day where do you think my kids go? Same for days off?

Reality is I work whilst my kids are in school and I’m ill when I’m ill, I just do all the other “home making” around my paid employment.

I don’t get a day off being a parent just because I’m on annual leave…

Similar role (receptionist) to before I had DS (nearly 2yo) but reduced hours from 37.5 over 5 days to 20 over 2 days. I take home just under £900 after pension.

£1500 after all deductions. 2 days a week. I have one child and husband works full time at around £2800.
I will increase my hours by one day when he gets a funded nursery place.....maybe🙊

4K take home pay. Full time, mostly at home.

3.5k post deductions. 4 days, 1-2 from home, couple of weekends a year and available overnight about once a month. 2 children aged 4 and 1. Pension contribution is massive about 12%. Will be a little more in the next couple of years once student loan is cleared. Mine is the "big job". DH earns less and has more flexibility.

£5600 after deductions, full-time WFH 3-4 days a week with very flexible schedule that I can largely fit around personal stuff like PTA meetings, recitals, doctors appointments, gym etc. 2 kids age 3 and 5. DH also full-time, earns about the same.

£4900 a month take home, 2 days a week. 2 DC aged 1 and 5, DH works ft.

It was 3k for 30 hours but I hated it and recently decided life was too short so jacked it in. Now earn £1500 for 21 hours in a (hopefully) less stressful job with less travel.

What do I earn? Or what is my income? As the answers are wildly different! I have a disability so I'm unluckily lucky that I receive a lot of money for that!

average for a mum who works part time
One of my reports just had a baby and came back 4 days. I still pay her 6 figures, nothing to do with her parenthood. Does that help?

Now I’m full time and earn £2.2k after deductions. Started out on £500 ish for 12 hours a week.

£900pm for 3 days

Exactly, a stealth boast thread.

Just over £3k a month plus quarterly and annual bonuses. This felt like a lavish amount before children, now it feels like a stretch to cover childcare, rising CoL etc. I have no idea how people on less cope!

Would you mind saying what job this is. I'd be happy with that, and no commute.

I take home just over £1700 a month doing three days a week.

£1,900 after deductions. I work 9-3 (school runs) 4 days a week.
