Evening all.
I have spoken to a mortgage advisor today and have been told I have to earn 35k this year after expenses to obtain the mortgage I need.
Ill get to the magic 35k figure, even if it means not putting all my spend through.
To get my house I need 15% deposit, I have money saved and will continue to do so until the house is built in may.
But my question is, if I put through 35k worth of earnings, what will my tax bill roughly be? I know we get some sort of tax relief, ie no tax paid on the first £x of earnings, but I'm not sure what it is.
I know we pay tax at 20% but 7k seems a bit excessive.
If anyone read my previous posts they will be aware that my accountant has passed away so I can't phone him :-( and I haven't found a new accountant yet.
Hopefully someone one here knows a rough figure, that way I will know how much more I need to save to get to my 15% deposit.
Thanks.
Tom
