£3k?  £4k?

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

A good monthly pay is 1/12th of a good annual wage.

The information about what is a good annual wage is mentioned in the thread linked by @elsien

The OP may do well to consult @sultan123 as they are likely the forum's subject matter expert on this topic baed upon the extensive research they have done, including:

The OP and their friends appear to be on a comfortable / generous salary and one would assume capable to understanding their wage in the overall position of society - it is odd that at this type of income level, variously anything from £80k - £100k upwards that the pre-occupation is on salary level.  Many with that order of magnitude of income are seeking job satisfaction and quality work-life balance as greater priorities than worrying about whether their wage is good or otherwise:

It might help others if the OP were to explain what their real matter of concern as people may then be able to offer constructive advice and comment.

I asked this in the other thread and while the OP did reply it was of no help at all in determining what it is that he really wants to know.

The OP comes across as just wanting to be a bit boastful of their means, imho.

For the love of all that is holy, are we doing this again?

Are you expecting different answers to last time you asked? Or the time before that? Or the time before that?

And while my question mark is being severely over utilised ... why is your self-worth so tied up with what other people think is a good salary? Have you tried working through that, either in self-led exploration or with a trained therapist?

And finally, why do you not say please or thank you or contribute in a positive manner to others threads? The information flow is entirely one-directional. It's really not how forums like this operate best. One asks when one needs help but one also gives where possible.

Perhaps, however if I was earning £80-100k a year I think I'd value my time too much to come on here and ask these repeated meaningless questions, as well as the tax questions that are easily solved with a multitude of calculators available online. So I have a different conclusion to yourself on the rationale of these posts

A very fair point, and not one I'd disagree with, either.

anything north of 20 squillion Elbonian dollars would be considered very comfortable.
