How much will I earn?

username84

I have recently got a job (YAY)

I was working abroad for a few years, then on the dole, then job bridge. In all I havent worked in Ireland since 2008 so I have NO idea what my current salary is!!

21,000 a year - what does this mean for a single person with no dependants? No pension etc, just straight forward single lady in her late 20's!!

Thanks for your help in advance - I'm guessing about 350 a week?

Cheers

Sounds good a straight forward lady only kidding . Depending on the job ! Room for progression wage increase? Works out at 10.35 an hour gross. Ya wouldn't be living the high life or wanting to be drinking like a fish every weekend on a happy note it's a start though well done on job

I guessed as much. It IS an excellent opportunity - will have the chance to level up either there or elsewhere if I dig my heals, work hard and learn as much as I can from them - I can really see this going places!

It's a long week too 42+ hours, so VERY much doubt I'll be coming out with 420+ a week hahaha, I wish........

But as a salary - does anyone else earn 21000 a year and what do you get in a week?

You'll come out with €1560 a month after tax.

AY that's like asking a farmer how much land he has id earn a good bit more than that . wouldn't class 21k as a salary . Will you xtra as overtime? . Petethebrick says you ll get 1560 into your hand. Depending on your situation 1560 is good if you haven't any big overheads...

You should also ensure that you claim every tax relief that you are entitled to. For example if you take public transport to work, it might be useful to invest in a monthly or yearly bus/LUAS/DART/rail ticket. These tickets can be purchased through salary sacrifice. Info at www.taxsaver.ie . If your into cycling, there is a cycle to work scheme that carries tax breaks for buying a bike. There is also tax relief available for renting (although not much).

A full list is available on www.revenue.ie . Remeber, as the Tesco's ad goes "every little helps"

Salary sacrifice isn't always needed: some companies just provide the service without considering it part of the salary. Definitely worth doing though, if your company is a member of the scheme (not all are).
