Hi everyone, I wonder if you could help me work this out before i go jump off a bridge.
I got my first payslip from my umbrella company today. After the net profit bonus, basic salary, holiday pay were totaled i had £1,885.
But out of this sum i was charged:
143 student loan
561 employee tax!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
128 social security
My tax code is 747L W1. Is this correct? My girlfriend earns far more than i do and pays a fraction of the amount of employee (income) tax. Am i getting ripped off, is there some kind of magical calculation that i don't know about? I started on the 16th of June and was paid up to the 22nd of July.. Does the fact that this spanned 2 months have some kind of effect in paying twice as much tax as her? On my pay slip it says i am paid weekly.. would that have some kind of effect?
Any help would be much appreciated as i can barely pay my rent this month.
