Wages

[Hbot123]

Name changed as I am slightly embarrassed.

Can anyone with knowledge of payroll or perhaps just good at maths please help me.

I am supposed to earn 20k a year but I am taking home £1200 per month I work that out at £7.50 an hour for 40 hour weeks.
Can anyone tell me what my hourly rate is before deductions please.
I haven't had a pay slip for maybe two years I just don't know what's going on anymore.
As usual the pay is late which means I'm late paying rent etc, not sure why it's suddenly getting to me but it made me cry today.
Am I even getting minimum wage ?

The hourly rate, net, is a bit of a red herring.

Work out your monthly take home on this site: www.moneysavingexpert.com/tax-calculator/

Hi @Hbot123 even with 10% pension contributions you should take home over £1300 a month on 20k.

Call HMRC and ask about your contributions.

Check your tax code. I think the standard one is 1250L now.

If the numbers are lower than that, you could be overpaying tax and be due a refund, and it would explain why your net pay seems low.

Does the pay you get include a random number of pence?

If not the chances are it is not being worked out correctly and your rogue of an employer is just guessing at a random amount and pocketing the difference
