Did you read the post I quoted before I made the calculations you said was wrong?

Where in that post (that I quoted) said anything about 40 hours, 4 weeks or £10/hr?
your tax is what I meant. Don't forget he will have tax relief of £1250.

Also, yes you work 40 hours a week and if you add the break of 1hr, you have worked for over 40hrs

You are indeed ignorant about "the abroad".

The average unschooled labourer does not make N1.5m; it is less than that. But let's indulge you.

Lets say the average labourer does make N1.5m. By the time he pays taxes, national insurance and pension contributions, about 22% would have gone out of it. Leaving N1.17m.

Now considering you chose to claim a very high average, that means this labourer is likely to be "labouring" in London to earn such wages. That means the upper limit of those rent figures would apply to the labourer if he wants to live in a 2 bedroom apartment, as London is the most expensive place to live. So that is N975,000 per month.

Now that leaves him with how much after he pays this rent? N195,000.

If that N195,000 per month even good enough to live Western life in Lagos? Talk less of London.

In London, he would still have to pay council tax first of about N48K per month and then face BUS transport bills that are N900 to get on for one journey anytime he goes out.
No your calculation is wrong. If he earns let's say £1600 a month, he pays tax on (1600-1250) only £350 not the entire £1,600. That is only £70 tax he pays

But the minimum wage is max. 7 pounds in the UK.

So, it means you have to do many jobs to live in Central London where you have many job opportunities.
Google is your friend. Minimum wage here is £9.18/hr

Can you tells us what kind of job is that and the name of the company that pay such monthly.
If he works 40hrs a week on average minimum wage of £10/hrs. That's £1,600. Some earn more depending on the job you do

HRprof:
Are you telling us that they make upto 1m in a month?
He is only talking about rent by the time he pays bills and other things money don finish be that
Yes we do. I earn £4,500 after tax, I don't pay children school fee, neither do I pay hospital bill even for myself. My rent is £1,000 a month.

Between, why convert to Naira in the first place. Was he paid in Naira.

Let him go back home I beg
