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.
