I earn £17,500 a year plus about £2k in overtime.

On average i bring home £1200 a month  :)

last month i took home £1422. + some pennies at the end. (after tax)

don't get overtime here :(

errrr well i get paid a fiver an hour at the apartment and work for 5 hours on a saturday night  :-))( ...i take home 100 a month  :beers but what do i need money for?

Not going to say exact figures!  lets just say the tax man and accountant have fucking field days! Wankers  :evil:

But your married with a mortage  :P

yeah and don't i fucking knows it. :evil:

i keep telling her i would be rich if i wasn't with her.

I earn about £550 a month... EU 818 per month to be exact. Occasionally they throw in a few bananas to keep us chimps happy.

Pretty much the same as you ralphy except you don't get overtime working for the povvy council  :evil:

You love her :wink:

They beg us to do overtime  :shock:

Love to hate her :twisted:

tut tut

give me a job at your place then  :D

Can you get up to start at 4:30am?

Finish at 12:30pm though  :)

I get all my money from commision so i dont have a clue how much i earn. my monthly wage ranges from £1000 to £1900. Its quite weird really.

yeah, but you work for royal mail - who spectacularly failed to deliver my mum's birthday present today :)

Not gonna comment mate, i work for Royal Mail in Chipping Norton and we deliver ALL mail bought to us on the day.

Phone customer services if your not happy with Oxford Mail Centre.

i was only joking, chill!

About £500-700 if I work a whole week normally.  But then I only really work about 6 months of the year if I'm honest.   And I don't pay much tax :)

£1,100 per loan installment. £3,300 per annum. all to be paid back.

Only if they catch you :wink:

al who lives down the end of my corridor is emigrating as soon as he starts working, so will pay none back the cheeky fecker.

I live in England and I don't pay any back.  Not even sure how much I owe them anymore.

I fell in the lowest income bracket and the cunts took £5000 in grants off me, so I'm trying to take ten.

why arent you paying it back? Im not paying mine back either actually. But I assume I will be soon. I owe £1900

They don't know where I live, plus I'm self-employed and there doesn't seem to be much communication between the loans service and the inland revenue.  Normally they just wack it on to peoples NI contributions.  Alot of people say they give up after 8-10 years.  Here's hoping :)

thats probably why i pay so much NI then  :evil:  :evil:  :evil:


I think im paying too much tax too. In December I got paid a whopping £1900 and paid £450 tax. Thats too much shirley

That's about right to be fair, if you're contracted to a company.  You'll be due a tax rebate at the end of this month though, make sure you get it.

Dammit. I thought I was being hornswoggled. What necessary steps should I take to make sure I get my money

At the start of April ask your employer for a P60.  This details your earnings and tax payments for the year and thye are legally obliged to give it to you, although virtually none do unless you ask.  Send your P60 off to the Inland Revenue and they will calculate the amount you have over-payed and send you a cheque.  If you need any info just ask someone in your payroll department.


The first £4500 you earn each year you pay no tax on, and then the next grand or so you only pay 10%.  Most people don't know this though, or that they're entitled to money back, so the government keeps their money.

It isn't always true that people have paid too much, but most of the time it happens.

I've probably earnt about £7000 since last April so they'd better give me some money back the bunch of homogators

can you not just skip all of that hassle by sitting around and doing nothing? then one day you get a surprise cheque through the post?

Of course you can, the government love giving back money :soapy tit wank:

i get a grand for every year i've been alive. and i aim to keep it like that for a few years to come.

Bloody students  :wink:

Usually about £1700 a month before tax. Varies due to overtime.

I think I need to get a new job.

I have the next worse thing to a wife draining my wages, a flashy car  8)

Just replaced all 4 tyres, £376  :cry:

I'm a cricket coach. So works obviously restricted to the summer, but I can't think of many better jobs (for a student). I'll probably get about £1100 from about 110 hours work this summer. Could do mor if I wanted, but I'd rather spend time doing other things.

Very jealous!  Doing something you enjoy, and earning a very decent wage for it is a dream, would love to coach football or any sport for that matter for any kind of wage!  Unfortunately, I'm the one that needs coaching....   8)

If you've only earned £7,000 (gross) since 6 April 2004 - you should have only paid income tax for the year of £253 so you can claim the rest back! :D

It'll give you your total gross earnings and tax paid in your March wage slip so you don't have to wait for your P60 cos your employer doesn't have to give you that 'til 19 May.

You need to complete this form and send it to your tax office after 5 April(you don't need to send any wage slips or p60 with it cos the Inland Revenue already know how much tax you've paid)

You can find out what tax office you are by the three digit number that is on your wageslip before the tax reference

you can find the address here:

do you work for the tax office mrs spacey  8)

we know who runs things in the Spacey household  :wink:

Hell no - I don't work for the tax office!



Th only running I do in the Spacey household is in fact to fetch Mr Spacey beer from the fridge. :?

I earn the same as Oxford fan. In the summer I worked about 15-20 hours a week for £150 a week.

28k from proper work, topped up with 2-3 from freelance cash jobs. Fucks my evenings/weekends though.

same as here, although my parents give me a £2250 a year as well. I worked 37 hours a week for 6.5 weeks in the summer in whsmith warehouse

My parents pay my tuition fees and stuff. I worked in a warehouse too moving boxes, how much did whsmith pay?

that's what £1250 of the parent's money is for. accommodation rinses my cash the most

£5.50 an hour. it was shit work but fucking easy. too boring to work there for any longer though

Officially I got £6 an hour but I got payed for 5 hours a day and we normally finished after 3-3 1/2 hours but I still got 25 hours a week put on my timesheet. :beers

Likewise it was boring but easy.

wooaahhh £150 a week for me would be like winning the lottery.

in an average week i pay about 2 quid subs on a sunday and £3 subs for six a side on a thursday. with all that cash i could actually buy stuff

and it's tax free if ur a stoodent  :P

i earn HK$ 675,000 p.a.
or HK$1,875 per day (based on 30 days in a month, 12 months in a year.)

it ain't that much, believe me, i deserve much more and after the 3 women in my house have thrown it about there's not much left for big daddy.

hkr

i earn nothing. i dont have a job as im at college

I just got a bonus of CHF 35,000 but that doesn't mean too much as Zurich is apparently the 4th most expensive city in the world (5th if you include rent because London rents are so high) (out of 71 cities in the survey).

Top 3 are Oslo, Copenhagen and Tokyo. Hong Kong 15th apaprently, but HKR may have a different opinion on that.

whats it like in zurich?

Depends what you are looking for. If you want a big city with vibrant nightlife, numerous entertainment opportunities and good shopping for the average Joe then it's a waste of time. If you want a relaxed place with high quality of life, a beautiful setting, easy access to the mountains and excellent luxury shopping - Zurich's your place.

Wouldn't spend more than half a day here as a tourist though.

i'm very surprised at that, especially considering how much my landlord stashes away each month.
i also heard that hk people are low on the earnings list too!! that is a big surprise.
but this is a place of around 1,000km and 7 million people, 70% of whom are relatively poor. the rest are very well off though and there are some super-duper fat cats in this town - nearly 300,000 millionaires...

i'm not one of them though...yet.
 :soapy tit wank:

Actually you are right HKR. Including rent Hong Kong moves up to 6th and is actually just ahead of Zurich - it's a confusing table I am looking at.

Presumably those are HK$ millionaires?

Which survey was that? I thought London was the most expensive city by far if you include rent.

http://www.citymayors.com/economics/expensive_cities2.html

That is the same survey - published by UBS. I was quoting the list excluding rent though. Both Hong Kong and London are much more expensive if you add in the rent.

Sorry don't really want to contribute to this, but the number of views was on '666' which scared me, so i did something about it.
