Am I better off ?

Teenage girlfriend and no children? Well some people would consider you better off

Do the calculators take into account VAT going up! I am not worried things in the budget per se. More interested in whether I am (financially) better off next year.

Ach, now you're getting all technical on us!

Well I had gone to bed. But I got up again to log in and thank you.

Well, darling, thank you for your believable appreciation.

On a positive note, at least we know where Cleaver gets his material.

Female age 36, no children, no car. If I put my annual income as £5k I am £18 a year worse off from increased tax on wine, If I put it as £6k - including possible overtime - I will be £13 a year better off from changes to NI. Obviously that doesn't take account of the increased council tax (boo) nor the nice low interest rate on my student loan (hooray).

My bad, I often mistake this for a financial forum.

Are you an MP? You've lost your second home allowance but now get paid to turn up, and I think it works out slightly better for you.

I put my true figures in and it offered a link to Ocean Finance. (not sure if they are still a going concern so fill in with any finance company, hopefully it will still work).

Not my best, but I should be in bed.
