I’m trying to understand my actual take-home pay as I’m planning my monthly budget and something doesn’t seem to add up.
My situation:
- Salary: £30,000
- Living in the UK, renting
- No student loan
- No pension contributions currently
- No additional income
I’m trying to budget roughly £1,200/month for rent and bills, so I wanted to confirm my expected net income.
Depending on what I check, I’m seeing estimates between ~£1,950 and £2,050 monthly.
I’ve checked the UKPF wiki and HMRC info, but I’m still not sure which figure is realistic or what assumptions I should rely on.
I just want to make sure I’m budgeting correctly — does this range sound right?
