Don't know the exact figures for individual circumstances but I'd say most people can budget on the assumption that they'll take home roughly 70% (probably a little bit more) of their salary - unless they're freelance or have their own business, when they'll keep the lot but have to file their own tax return at the end of the year. But again, 30% seems like a good round figure whichever way it's done. That'll include deductions for tax and national insurance. |

calculating your income taxes in the yooessey is a fucking nightmare. there are pre-tax deductions (social security and medicare, plus some employee benefits), adjusted gross income, further tax deductions (standard or itemized), taxable income, tax credits, shittons of tax brackets, filing status (single, married, head of household, and i forget what else), then taxes can be federal, state, and local (these last two not always apply). enough to give a grown man a case of the spastic shits. |

Horses for courses, it seems that the average income in Slovakia is lower than minimum wage in the UK. |

£32,000/year after tax is something like £2200/month. |

Slavo, also when the time comes, you have to look into whats the deal between your country and the UK regarding taxes for abroad workers. you dont want to end up paying double taxes or fines (in your country).

And don't forget the bonus of being nearer to us Londoners and near-to-Londoners. And that's something you can't put a price on.

I decided to turn down the offer.
It would be kind of a step down from the rather comfortable life I'm having right now + there are other factors that matter. So, fellow Londoners, I guess we'll see each other by other occasion.

You've made the right decision for you, which is what counts. Am sure we'll see you over here at some point for a holiday/visit as and when you're ready.

Congrats. According to this thread, you probably did the right thing.
Why dream of Detroit when you have Slovakia, which I'm sure is cleaner, and much safer. |

In NY, the various entities take about 33% of my income before I get it, then we have a 8.5% sales tax on most everything, and there are built in taxes on things like gas, booze, cigs, etc. I figure they get about 40% of my income at the end of the day. |

But you live in New York! You have the most rats! I was watching a Spalding Gray video the other day and in it he's talking about his neighbor's loud music and how they can't make her turn it down even at 2am and I started getting a headache just thinking about loud, annoying neighbors I've had (and I'm sure I've been one, too). Not having to make noise complaints is a delicious thing. |

Noise has become the main issue with urban living. I seem to value peace and quiet more and more. I don't mind it outdoors and quite like the hustle and noise of the city when I'm walking around in it, but I do like to shut it all out when I get home. |

Wouldn't that be rather 20 % on the first 31,865 and 40 % on the 31,866 + ? |

i don't know for sure, i found a table that said 10%/20%/40% and i went with it. but i don't know the actual rates for sure-- i was just trying to explain progressive taxes-- it's a common misconception the increasing rates are retroactive-- but in a different way of saying it, it's the income that gets taxed, not the person. |
