Lady Fly Fly,
I am just about to start as MF Crew and raed your post and did some of my own research
Just so we are clear here -
Basic is £11,000 - take home per month from that will be £793
I will then earn an
absolute maximum of 2500 duty hours per year at £2.40 minus tax (63% Notional 87p tax free) works out at £1.92 after tax equalling a max of £4800 PA = £400 pcm
So my max take home is £1192
Accomodation £450
Council Tax £100
Travel Costs Zone 3-6 £98.40
Mobile Phone £30
Food £270 (3 meals a day at £3 per meal)
Gas £20
Electric £20
TV Licence £12
Leaves me £6.40 per day left over to clothe myself, have a social life, buy a coffee etc etc
