    Perm - Hmmm How much tax?????

    Never generally consider perm but a good one has come up VERY close to home. 60K plus benefits.... Ran it through PAYE calculator.

    ONLY £3500 take home a month - bit disappointing. Lots of Tax/NI.

    Not even sure if my lifestyle can take this drop.... Pity it was good as well.

    Then again we might all be in this position after April.....

    What about matched pension contributions, private health, company car, paid holidays?

      Not uncommon to have a bonus at certain levels as well.....and take a long stint on the bench off your current income as well.. yadda yadda

      But still, you have to remember this is the norm and we are lucky. A lot of these posts about not going back perm for more than £120k etc forget all this. Won't be as attractive in a few years time either so never take it for granted. It's gonna hurt in future years if you do. 60k puts you in the top 5% of earners in the UK so it's not to be poo pooed. It doesn't help that your wife doesn't work either so you are only talking about your personal income..

      Just another pointless moan about your life really then. Off to General with you....

              Yep, that has to go into the mix as well.

                    £3500 take home a month is 70% of gross. That is pretty good, even before the benefits/pension etc are taken into account.
