As i'm not shure how things going to evoluate for me over there (if i got a job in U.K.), i prefer to keep my home, for the first year. I'll ask Bluewave if it is possible but, to begin, i would be happy with a half year contract.
I have experience teaching adults, mostly in vocational schoole and technical colleges. I wonder if it is hard to find a teaching adults job over there. |

Hello again,
The three colums show the difference over 3 years. The first colum is the pay from September 2005, the second colum is for September 2006 and the third is for September 2007.
One thing I don't think I mentioned was that you can earn more money in London, but the cost of living is much higher.
Anyhow, I can really recommend being here and I am looking forward to another year! |

I've also posted this on the other thread that had a discussion on pay and Tax - Thought you guys might need some useful links regarding tax -
Firstly, it's worth pointing out that the UK has a pretty low level of taxation compared to many other countries (despite what people here think!)
You have a personal tax allowance which is an amount upto which you pay no tax. This is currently £5035. After that you pay tax in bands of income as follows:
Taxable Bands Taxable Bands Allowances 2005-06 (£) 2006-07 (£)
Starting rate 10% 0 - 2,090 0 - 2,150
Basic rate 22% 2,091 - 32,400 2,151 - 33,300
Higher rate 40% Over 32,400 over 33,300
You can see this following the government site - here is the link for income tax: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/rates/i... />
So you can work out exactly what you will receive after tax. National Insurance (NI) is another deduction that you will need to make. It's about 8% of your gross pay and it covers such things as the State Healthcare which is free for you. The government site for NI is confusing as there are many factors. Here is a link but best to go on 8%
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/rates/n... />
As a guide, if you are earning £20,000 salary you will receive £1500 each month after tax and NI.
Hope that clears a few things up! |
