    Not at all. If I discover my willy is undersized, I can't apply for a new one.

    But, as with jobs, you could look for something that is a better fit :D

    Personally, I look at it as how much money I have to do what I like with, and how much time I have to spend out of the house to earn it. So some of how good a job is down to personal choice (where you live relative to the job). You are being paid a salary + a season ticket. Does that make you less well paid than someone who lives further away and gets the same salary but a more expensive season ticket?

    In my case not only do I get free travel to work but free travel round London all the time, as does another person that I nominate. So do I add to my pay everything we both would have spent to get my salary? Of course not, what I take home is what I earn, the rest is a perk of the job.

    He said he travels by train, so presumably the train ticket will cost them both the same?

    you missed the point

    £10k grossed would mean the ticket does not cost £10k it would be less,

    if they grossed up based on TAX/NI around £5800.

    Depending how the scheme is operated that is not the way to do the calculations.

    Since the OP won't provide the facts or how they have come to "it's worth 10k" no one can check they have done the calculations properly.
