Whats considered a good salary?

Mr.Success

A 40 hour week on minimum wage is around €350. So whats considered Bad, Good and excellent

Seachmall

Depends on Living Expenses, Job Satisfaction, Difficulty of Job, Qualifactions etc.

Different for everyone.

But anywhere around 100k+ is generally considered decent.

Minimum wage is a waste of time as you are better of on the dole unless you can literally walk to work. If you have to commute any distance it is a waste of time due to the massive costs involved in getting to work and the extra taxation and loss of benefits.

I would consider any wage over €600 a week to be good and €800+ a week excellent. It is not going to work for under €400 a week.

The question was "What's considered a good salary?", not "At which pay level should people pay more tax?". :pac:

Pj!

It's not what you earn its how you spend it.


Oh and also this.

An average person in Ireland could aspire to little more than half of that.

Have you ever found a euro? That's probably the best salary you'll ever earn. It takes about 5 seconds to pick up and pocket. A euro in 5 seconds. Doing it you're earning €28,800 a week. Noice. Or €1,612,800 a year. Nooooooicce. On a 40 hour week of course. Before tax.

Aye, but your back would be f***ed from all the bending down to pick it up!!!:p

Bad: Even 350 a week is nothing with the cost of living these days.
Good: I guess double the average wage. So 700 upwards.
Excellent: 1,000 upwards.

50k is pretty good all right. Its about 17k more than the average private sector salary, and 2k more than the average public sector salary, which is 48k. www.cso.ie

The best way to look at this is take home pay after tax per week, saying 100k a year means feck all really, with all the levies and increased taxes etc how much more per week does a 100k a year earner get over someone earning 50k?

It is disgraceful that the public salary is so high, the public sector should be at least 10 to 20% behind the private sector for job security alone.

About €20,000 above whatever you currently earn.

Just got the interview for a minimum wage job as a street fundraiser.

I thought Dole was around €200 so I would be getting an extra €100 a week.
The real draw for me though is I wanted to improve my social skills and this jobs seems like a great opportunity to do so.

Well you'll become immune to rejection if thats your social hangup!

What would you consider too great a distance to walk though? I walk to work, takes about 25/30 minutes each way. Also how are you better off on the dole rather than working for €400 a week? I'd love to be getting that right now. No way I'd get anything like that on the dole though.

beckham makes a lot more than his $250,000 a week wages for playing footie. the guy would have megabucks income from advertising gigs, then there's companies sponsoring him, and he's got his own fashion line

replace the € with $ and it's probably about right

350 a week for a 40 hour week. Ouch.

I'm working out in a coal mine in oz at the moment and the money is what a lot here would call "good or decent "

Absolute bucket loads of work out here.

The public sector is higher qualified so your figures fail.

I wouldn't get up for under 80 grand a week.

In fairness you can't blame the public actor workers.
Their unions bargained a golden deal with the government off the day which resulted in the benchmarking process.

The flaw was on the side who represented the public interest, our government.

A union's main purpose is to strike the best deal possible for their members. Job well done.

You have a good salary is if you have money left over each month after paying mortgage, bills, expenses and loans.
