Answer 1

You get taxed on what you earn so 22% of what you earn (for most people). The more you earn the more tax you pay but you still get more money at the end of the week!

One thing to consider is your hours. I dont know the rules but as you only do 30 hours the tax rate might be less (for part-time work?), or you might be able to claim credits.
