    Just a quick thought - you don't pay ct in Feb or March as it is only over 10 months, so that is extra to throw at your debts in those months.

    Basically if you want to pay off debt you have to live like your unemployed until it is paid off.

    Hi,

    My boyf is paid by the hour - as I am - so unfortunately he does not have a set annual wage, but can only earn up to 40 hours a week at I think it's £12 ph. Which is around £480 a week before tax, or about £1920 before tax a month.

    40 hours x £12 per hour x 48 weeks per year = 23K before tax.
    23 / 12 = £1,917 per month, multiply by 0.75 and it's about £1,440 take home.
    Happy chappy
