    Taking tax and NI into account and assuming as you're well above a young persons tax allowance, your minimum wage is £5.80 per hour.....

    £175 takehome a week is what I would expect (using rough calculations)

    I'm afraid I don't agree with the answers you have had. Tax and NIC on a basic 40 hrs at £4.80 would bring your take home pay to £197 pw. However, if this is the first time you have worked this year and have no previous taxable income, your tax will be less than this. I cannot advise more without figures.
