At least you get paid for overtime though. Gives you the opportunity to earn more even if you do have to work your nuts off.

just by reading this im wondering what the fuck i've been doin with my life! im a qualified mechanic and a fucking over worked one at that!! have been in the same place for last 7 years. there are NO oppertunities in this country. i've been thinking of a move to the uk this past year or so. if some one could tell me where i can find out bout the income tax and all that malarky it would be great.
other than that i live for cars. s12's in particular as nobody knows what they are here. very sick of idiots shouting 'go on the twin cam' though. (an ae86 is known as a twin cam in ireland)

So if we all went to stay at Duncans house we'd have loads more money to spend on cars...... and the Guiness is better?

First of all there is a personal allowance of £5,035.

After you earn after this amount you pay tax. If you are paid weekly/montly its divided by 12 or 52 etc.

After the personal allowance there is 2 types of tax; PAYE (income tax) and National Insurance (NI).

PAYE:

Up to £2,150 - 10%
£2,151 - £33,300 - 22%
£33,301+ - 40%

So if you earn £7,185, only £2,150 of it is taxed at 10%. If you earn £20,000, there is £2,150 taxed at 10% and then £12,815 at 22%. Therefore £20,000 would be deducted £3,034.30 PAYE.

NI:

Up to £33,540 - 10%
£33,451+ - 1%

Therefore for £20,000 NI of £1,496.50 is deductable.

On say a salary of £20,000, after deductions above, the net pay is £15,469.20 which is £1,289.10 per month.

shut up lol
