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?
