Does anyone know how much a registrar doctor earns?

[WorldyGrease]

DP claiming poverty but has been a registrar for 10 years ish. I thought he’d be on at least over 55k but claims not. I don’t believe him and he’s wanting to put less than half into joint account.

“I’m suprised it’s so poorly paid too, I would be dashing off to be a GP if it’s that crap”

Salaried GPs earn about £55k. Partners may earn more (usually still well under £100k though), and for that they work 12-14 hour days, plus extended hours Saturday clinics. No thank you.

Dear god, people still believe that crap about all GPs earning £100k PT?

@patellartendonitis

No, but it's no way near as "badly paid" as people make out either. Aside from basic pay the on-calls/unsociable hours etc all mount up to a lot more. Doctors aren't scraping by, junior or otherwise.

I'm amazed that a doctor with 10 years experience earns less than £50k. I'm a paralegal earning considerably more than that! (Which is why I think trained medics should be on much more.)

Don't feel too bad about disbelieving your partner, OP. Apologize and move on.

The GPs I know are doing very well.
Depends on your contract.
They still like moaning about money though...don't worry about considering how much I get paid....

Can you ask for a screenshot which actually shows his whole payslip....you distrust him...but he's not sounding very trust-worthy either.

Depends on his specialty. The base salary looks on the low side but if it's an acute specialty he'll get significant amounts extra for out of hours work. I'm a senior reg on the "old contract" and would be on just over 60k full time, but I work PT since having kids.

All on line pay slips here.
If you want to help him be supportive as he ssltudies and gets through his exams.
Once he's a consultant pay is good and hours better.

"He just needs to pay 50% of the utility bills and rent/mortgage.
Neither of you need to know how much either earns."

Woah woah woah

This is MN, both parties should pay a percentage based on the discrepancy in earnings in to the joint pot and should be left with a similar amount of disposable inc..... sorry, the higher earning partner is a woman? 50/50 or else he's a cocklodger

That is for a standard 40hr week. On the old contract, the basic pay has a banding supplement percentage 1A 50%, 1B 40% etc depending on how many on-calls, nights, weekends etc. Similar situation with 2016 contract - there is extra for all nights and weekends.

So, you can easily earn 50% of your basic salary on top of that initial figure.

Doesn't really matter whether its £35k or £55k if you're unmarried with no DC you would be very unwise to financially subsidise him. He needs to pay half regardless. Trying to wriggle out of paying his way isnt attractive and you need to protect your savings. If he wants to pool resources then get married

I work for the NHS and all our paperslips are online. Frankly it's a pain in the ass...particularly P60 time.

The key thing here is why does OP have such distrust of her partner? Why didn’t you believe him? You don’t sound like a very nice person to be honest

He'll be on over £50k plus don't forget they get overtime for on call work

Why should he pay half if he is earning less?

For a start we dont know if they rent, if he owns the house or her or if its joint. Which would impact it.

And the advice is always pay relative to earnings. Regardless of if married or not.

That will be his basic pay, based on 40 hours Monday to Friday. If he works more than 40 hours and does some weekends or overnights he could be on almost double the basic.

Lots of people think doctors get loads, but below consultant that isn't true. It's still a public sector job.

To the poster who said he wasn’t the meal ticket I was hoping for - I earn over 120k a year and I’m 34. I pay for almost everything we do and simply expected him to contribute fairly to our home.

Shocking that a woman may feel financially used, is it?

There’s some really nasty comments here. I asked a simple question!

I think he should 100% leave you. He's clearly solvent and can look after himself and wouldn't have to deal with the lack of trust, and your obvious belief that he sees you as the meal ticket.

You earn 120k and squabbling about wether he earns 45k or 55k?

It's odd he cant afford Bill's OR to do anything else. How big is the rent or mortgage?

And what sort of things do you pay for.

I am a higher earner and dp earns substainally less than your dp. I cant imagine squabbling and not believing what he says. ..yes I do pay for things. Because sometimes I want to do expensive things.

That said, we still live in the house I owned when I was earning around 30k. So the mortgage is low.

If I wanted to live in a house with a huge mortgage, I wouldn't expect him to pay half of that. I would have my larger contribution recognised, like it is in the house we have now.

I get wanting to protect yourself financially. However, if you dont trust him this relationship is going nowhere.

Theres so much detail that's missing to judge wether you or him are the problem. It could be that you need to be with someone who earns similar to you, or will always feel resentful. Or it could be that he is hiding money.

Even on 40k how can he not afford half of Bill's or pretty much anything else?

I also think you need to apologise and move on. Perhaps in different directions! Lack of trust will eat away at you both over time.

He currently pays 200 a month for everything. I even pay for car costs etc. I don’t believe that is as much as he can afford. Our mortgage is less than 800.

If he’s only paying £200 a month, IMHO he’s totally taking the piss. If he’s on £45k, even putting a fair whack into his pension he’ll be coming out with £2-2.5k a month. Where’s the rest of it going?

200? Sorry but I'm currently on UC and my hills for me alone come to 700 and I pay those on benefits so how someone earning that amount can only afford 200, what the hell is he doing with his wage?!

Ok, so he probably earns nowhere near as much as you (I’m wondering what it is you do at the same age as me and in the same region to earn so much, but yours is a very high salary for your age). He should absolutely be paying more towards the household running costs, and you need to have a frank discussion. Because his salary is enough that with such low living expenses he should have a healthy amount put away. Tbh there are many different ways of organising household finances, from split down the middle (regardless of income), to proportional inputs based on income, to the high earner covering all the living expenses and the lower earner saving for a rainy day. The main issue is that you’re not on the same page about your earnings, and have a mess with your joint finances because of this. You shouldn’t really be covering his living expenses in that way because you won’t be able to recover that money if you split. But your arrangement makes me thing a split might be on the cards anyway if you can’t sort this out
