Salary calculator (I want to actually make a profit!)

Hello World,

I am in the enviable position of currently beig able to negotiate a sensible pay rise, which I really really need.

I am looking to work out what my target salary should be, accounting for all my expenditure and a bit more for the kids savings plans etc.

I currently run my budget on a excel spreadsheet, which is a basic credit and debit system, telling me how much I wont have at the end of each month and how much is outstanding through the month for direct debits etc (handy as I get paid in the middle of the month).

We are currently in debt to 2.7 times our original mortgage and obviously want to get a handle on it and fast. (Previous family medical history mostly).

Has anyone been here before and reached a reasonable solution?

P.S. If I can get it sorted soon, I can get the pay rise to start from Monday, so no rush folks!!

Many thanks in advance for your assistance.

KevinF.
