Good monthly net pay

sultan123

What are peoples views on a good net pay each month in terms of being very comfortable.

£3k?  £4k?

Talking about net pay after tax, NI, student loan deductions.

where do you live?  what do you spend monthly?  who else is in your household and what are their incomes??

What I could do where I live with an income of £700 a month is very different than someone with a mortgage, 3 children in private shcool and a SAHpartner living in London.

Do you not post something like this repeatedly? Is there a reason why you keep on asking the same question?

Genuinely just interested in views

Fair enough. Just seems like you ask the same question every couple of weeks so seems a bit pointless. It’s completely subjective and depends on your own personal situation.

Just to save the repetition.

£2 per week for sweeties.

So what do you define as very comfortable? Is this for a single person or a large family? 
Do you have expensive hobbies? I know someone who keeps horses, their 'necessary' expenditure is vast compared to my occasional spending on run kit. 

However you ask the question the answer is always going to be - enough money to pay your essential monthly bills, plus a bit so you can save for an emergency and hopefully have the occasional treat. 
So do the maths and work out what that means for you.

30p a day is enough, unless you're the PM.

It's a totally pointless question.

"Good" pay depends on a mutitiude of factors such as age, lifestyle, kids etc

But also remember for most people it is immaterial. Most people earn what they earn and have to make do with it best they can - it's not like there's an option to suddenly "upgrade" to your theoretical good pay.

As you're repeating your question for the umpteenth time I'll repeat my answer from the thread @elsien linked to: £4 million a week (gross) is about the best you'll do. Although you might have more chance of making a reasonable amount of money if you devoted half as much time and effort to working as you do to asking nonsensical questions.
