Slightly complex but here it is! I pay £375 pre-tax into the 2 company share purchase schemes so my net would be increased by £225 if that were not the case. Also I put 10% into the company pension scheme (£740) and they pay a further 7% regardless of whether I contribute or not. If I did not pay that 10% I would receive a further £444 net in my salary (plus the 7% into the fund which is paid regardless). In addition I get 10% of my gross salary given to me once a year as a one-off 'loyalty bonus' which comes to £5624 net or £469 per month net if averaged out.
Last month, including sector payments I took home £5200 net. If I did not pay into the share scheme and I did not put money into the pension fund and took into account the one-off loyalty bonus, my net monthly salary would be £5200 + £225 + £444 + £469 = £6338
Also get LOL but no health care.

Year 11 Airbus Captain with BA
Take home between £4500-£5100 per month - left the '400 just over a year ago and regretting it ever since.
SH payscales in BA (compared to LH) suck - we work much harder, (similar amount of days off), minimum rest pretty much everywhere, and, as you can see above, moving from RH seat LH, to LH seat SH isn't worth it (financially).
In present conditions, it will take me about another 7 years to get a LH command.
So have worked my nuts off for 5 years night-mail, 3 years charter, and 11 years in BA to finally earn what a 2 year FO in Emirates gets - makes me feel really valued!
+LOL, Healthcare, What's left of a pension
(...and yes, have done my time on £60pw, 7days off, 7days off etc. - stick with it, and good luck...)
