Cost of living in UK

Re: Cost of living in UK

Primary schools are provided free on state education. Income tax is high in comapirson to non EU countries. It’s a on a sliding cae i.e. first 12K at 10% and by the time your at £40k it’s around 50%.

The biggest expense will be housing. Houses in and around London are at silly prices. First time buyers find it near impossible to get on the property ladder. Much cheaper in the north around Manchester, Leeds but recently these have shot up much faster. Theris council tax you have to pay on every property which can range from around £1200-£2k p/a or more depnding on property. Bigger, expensive house = more tax.

I would say £45k is plenty to live on in UK. You wont get the maharja lifestyle with buttlers etc… rich people in Pakistan have. On average a UK national will earn around £15K a month. A graduate after a few years in profession is looking at £25k. £50k+ = doing very well
