While your house rent for one month is their house rent for 1-3 years at least

What of your various unending bills and mortgages?

My dear, your are trapped in modern slavery

Your future is not in your hands
It is not that worse my friend. We have many who have travelled out and started carrying out development projects back at home and taking care of their parents and siblings just after few months of relocating. I know several of them.

Minimum wage in the UK:
Age 21+ - 11.44
Age 18-20 - 8.60
Age <18 - 6.40
Apprentice - 6.40

After-tax monthly take-home pay for age 21+ for f/t work - 1,542.55
https://mypaycalculator.co.uk/

Cost of Living in London (averages):

1-Month Transportation pass - 190.00
1-bedroom outside city center - 1,618.42
Basic Utilities - 246.13

Cost of Living in Manchester (averages):

1-Month Transportation pass - 85.40
1-bedroom outside city center - 918.75
Basic Utilities - 228.18

The numbers would be much worse in the US. However, the US has much higher salaries, and more jobs.

If you want to hide something from a black man put it in a book' unknown Proverb.

There's no country in the world that charges a 100% tax rate on their employees earnings. So stop capping and ask yourself questions. The poster is one of those who love putting out false information so that others don't come into the country.

Have you asked yourself how is it that with the alleged tax rate citizens from various countries are still working hard to get into the UK. Sometimes I hate coming to nairaland. Nairaland learn to vet information before posting on your platform

No legitimate deductions would lead to any of the payslips you see above.

Deductions as seen could be a number of reasons. The main one is they have collected advanced payment on their salary and I doubt any company will give you 100% salary advance. The system generally expects you to use your credit cards or bank overdraft.

In all likelyhood these are either fake payslips or they are working through a scam agency that is deducting other fees from their salaries. For instance maybe they brought them to the UK under some illegal scheme and they are deducting certain fees from their payslips every month. This is illegal.


A legitimate UK payslip will itemize every deduction including national insurance etc. furthermore, although it has been long I worked in the UK, I do know that your taxable pay and pensionable pay are never the same. Your taxable pay is always less than your gross pay because your taxable pay is net of tax free allowance. Finally these are not how payslips look in the UK. I have never had a payslip that looked like it was produced by Microsoft excel or word. Below is how a typical Uk payslip looks like.

Like I said I suspect this are fake payslips or a scam agency exploiting illegal Nigerians.
Mate you are totally right. My pay slip used to come with either a dark blue or purple colour headed paper. I don't know why Nigerians are characteristically wicked and malicious. A typical Nigerian will know that this path leads to making money but will refuse to show, as a matter of fact he'll dissuade you from that path. But this is not the same for other countries

My dear, your are trapped in modern slavery

Mortgage is not compulsory.. it's a choice between paying rent your whole life and leave with nothing, or pay towards your own home, and at the end, you can sell off, and even make a profit, meaning not only you stayed rent free, but even gained depending on the value of your property when you sell.

You don't even need to pay off the mortgage completely to be able to sell, once you sell, you pay the bank their balance and the rest is yours to keep.

Mortgage rates are also low...single digits, than compared with naija at 30%.

With time value of money, the average person can take a Mortgage today. In naija where you have to pay up everything, it hardly ever happens. So many uncompleted buildings tell the story. Today buy sand, next 3 months mold block etc

I prefer that modern slavery with good health system to that of Nigeria.
You still live a normal life and comfortable one and not the bypassing of a thing and experience of blackout and scarcity of fuel and cash. Most Nigerians are not normal anymore because the abnormal has become normal to them. I don't understand who is living a slavery life, the one the government is taxing and getting things like good roads, 24hrs electricity and security with good health care; Or the one the government is milking in is country and still rubbing it at their faces and
Killing unarmed protesters? They even collect road worthiness for road that are not worthy, or the one that you will vote and they will rig it and ask you to go to court, or the one that will charge you for treason anytime you challenge the bad governance. Rubbish internet bragging weak persons

Very stupid reasoning.

How do you know he can afford to relocate to Nigeria?

You don't know there are many Nigerians out there who would love to come back and restart, but cannot, due to financial reasons?

Thoughtless kid talking rubbish.
How much is flight to Nigeria that anyone working here cannot afford? Lolzzz... You guys dey cap sha

Those numbers in the op are just trolling for clicks, but the UK (and US, AU, NZ, etc) does have issues with salaries and cost of living.

Everywhere in the world has the same problem: the 1%.

Common sense should have told that your taxes cannot be more than your net income but unfortunately you don't have one.

Mr man, £173 for an 8.5hr shift a day is not a good pay in the UK
You mean £21/HR which is around 40+K per year on 40/ per week isn't a good pay in the UK? You must be joking. With what you just said now, I am 💯 certain, you don't live in the U.K for you to say this. Many GPs working for NHS earn around this figure. Nurses on band 5 don't earn up to this.

Unfortunately many will not ask for the explanation you asked for, and will just ignorantly believe this without bothering to know the circumstance, which might be because this is this person's second job and the tax is based on their total taxable income from all their jobs.
