Does anyone know how to work out your tax and National Insurance?

I have been trying to work out how much I should be taking home each month and nobody here seems to know how to work it out!

Take your top line. Work out what it costs to supply chips, tracksuits, fags, stella and burberry to a single mother and 4 children. Add 35% administration costs. Deduct from top line.

That should see you right.

Not to mention that nearly everything has a VAT markup which seems to be effectively an income tax.

You seriously need to investigate some tax avoidance schemes. Mine works out at an average of about 27% - lowest was 0% (when I was off for a few weeks), highest was 33% (when I was employed solidly for 6 months with overtime).

While we are having a pissing contest, spare a thought for those of us who run our own businesses, we have to pay an additional 12.8% in the form of Employers NI on all our earnings as well, i feel well kippered every time tax day comes around.

Mine does include employer's NI contributions, as I am a contractor working through an umbrella company. The majority of my pay is as 'profit bonus'.

So you are on around £19k a month?

Hence this is another "considerably richer than you" post.

Well done, you are very rich, and we are all envious.

Wow that is steep!

My current tax situation is much easier to work out. For every £/$
I earn I pay out 0% tax. Wey hey!

Ignore it if you don’t like it, every one has the right to voice concern about how much tax they pay and that includes the gentleman above.

It’s not making NorthernBoy any more prosperous either. On the other hand if you had a Penny for every time you posted on PH…well you wouldn’t be rich but you would have a lot of coppers.

So from Tonker declaring he has to pay 38.5% tax and me saying I pay none, which are both relevant remarks if you consider the title of this thread, you decide to get personal about the number of posts, or replies, I have on PH!?

Perhaps you should listen to your own advice. Better still you could grow up

I think Tonker has every right to complain about how much tax he pays... If he earns a lot of money its probably through ability and hard work than being "lucky", whatever that is. So: well done tonker. Northernboy: work harder!

Also (and I hope I read this correctly) "i have bought enough private companies..." was made in a "as part of my job" rather than a "for myself" context. That's not a "i'm richer than you" statement.
