Answer 3

about 5 years ago I believe the national average wage was £395 per week .god knows what it is now but one thing is sure-most of us never earn enough !!!

Answer 4

In which part of UK ?

A single person spends more on nights out, Will you rent or have a Mortgage ?

I live outside London in Hertfordshire and as I see it, you will need a net pay after tax of about 1600 a month.

With Electricity, Gas, Phone, Council tax, TV license, Water and more... Not to mention if you also have a car add that on top with about 3000 a year to maintain and cover tax and insurance.

These days, in UK, around the south east, a minimum of about 30K per year wages is required to have the minimum of what can be called a decent standard.

Hope this helps

Answer 5

About £300 a week.

Answer 6

MINIMUN 350 POUNDS A WEEK AFTER TAX
