Current gross hourly wages are:

• for employees aged 25 and over- GBP 7,83 per hour 

• for employees aged between 21 - 24 - GBP 7,38 per hour

• for employees under 21 - GBP 5,90 GBP per hour

• The follwing table shows example calculation of net salary (in accordance with GBP 6,70 rate per hour) on the basis of length of placement and most typical working time of 40 hours per week:

* income tax advance payments. Personal allowance for 2015/2016 is £10,600 per year, which means that any advances paid are returned if the salary did not exceed the amount of personal allowance. Any amount exceeding the limit of £10,600 per annum is subject to 20% tax, so in case of gross earnings of £ 13,936 the amount subject to taxation is £ 3336 (13 936 - 10 600) and may be refunded. In case of gross earnings of £ 3216, the entire amount of advance payments might be refunded.
