Hi,
I've been trying to assess the monthly take home after tax for the new joiners.
I'm not familiar with the UK tax system but from what I found on the web, £42,971 falls in the 40% taxable band, which leaves you with £25,782 neat as a basic salary. So here goes:
Monthly basic
25,782 / 12=
2148
Per diems/allowances:
17 days away: 17days * 24hours * 2 =
816
16 nights: 16 * 10=
160
Total:
2148+816+160=
£ 3124 
Does that sound about right...?
Anyone to comment or correct ?
thx
