House of Lords written question – answered at on 29 October 2013.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the present annual gross salary level required to produce a net take-home pay of £26,000; and what the figure would be taking into account the costs of travel to work and other costs incurred at work.
The gross salary needed to produce a given level of take-home pay varies widely depending on an individual’s tax circumstances and other deductions such as pension contributions and student loan repayments. This is before their receipt of state benefits is considered. Similarly, the cost of travelling to work varies widely according to personal circumstances.
