What would be the take home pay (monthly) after tax, social security, insurance and union dues during training and after training?
Since I pay taxes elsewhere it’s hard to calculate.
Thank you!
By my maths it's around £4300 during training as Y1 DEP. (Thats at 6% pension contributions and i haven't taken off union subs because they're paid separately from your payslip, and I can't recall what they are in Y1. There is no charge for insurance.)
Also note that these numbers are based on PAYE deductions for this being your only income... if you have other sources of income this will have a big impact on your tax obligations.
Once your line training starts I'd add on another £1200/month or so for flight pay and allowances. At ba you get full wages from day 1, there is no deduction for being in training. Obviously while you are in ground class and the simulator you're not making flight pay and Allowances because you are not flying. You will make these as soon as you start line training.
Y1 LH and SH have the same basic salary, and you'll fly the same hours. However they do differ in time away from base allowance, I'd guess an average of £400 a month more for LH as you're away that many more hours.
