How much net is this ? You would probably be lose roughly 30% of that to Tax & NI Assuming no dodgy tax code, that is roughly correct. NI is National Insurance. To give you an idea, if you wanted to buy a house on that, assuming 5 times salary you could borrow £175k. The average flat price about 20 miles west of London is about £200k.....

AndyC Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 4 - 4.5 times income is a more realistic figure, there are'nt many lenders if any at all offering 5 times income +1 The only ones offering more (unless you have a big deposit) are generally in league with lucifer as far as rate goes.

Pocket that half and retire!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
