Salaries

[Big Al1st]

Was watching the Beckam party last night and thought if a footballer, or anyone else for that matter, earned �100,000 per week what, after Nat Insurance and Inc Tax, would their take home pay be.

Also would they be entitled to a State Pension and if so how much.

Apologies if this is not the right Posting.

wouldnt have a clue about that one, but if you posted in money and finance section, people who frequent that topic would probably be able to offer a better answer

Catherine Thanks, Never used that posting so completely forgot about it. Will now go over there

Take care

anyone know if that programme will be repeated i missed it :( x

[Big Al1st]

Dont know. Didnt want to watch it but the wife did. I found it very interesting and entertaining. If it is repeated watch it.

I believe as a foreinger he will be tax free...........

In this country �4800 free, �25200 at 22.5% �70000 at 40% (minus this, add a little of that, times 3.5 minus (4%) therefore his take home pay after NAT INS and income tax would be.....................................

�62750 per week (ish)

[Big Al1st]

Thanks. Definitely more than me

Don't know about NI but most high paid footballers negociate tax-free salaries, ie �100,000 per week means that - the club pay the tax.

[Big Al1st]

Gef, Is that right? So when they say �100,000 per week, is that what they get in pocket?

Your welcome nursecarla, although i've just realised its not showing on the radio times web site yet. Anyway, it's 9PM on ITV2 on the 6th June.

That's what I am led to believe Big Al and don't forget that does not include bonuses or the money they make from sponsorship, image rights etc.

Hi Gef,

Dont doubt you. Have a look at the same question I posted in Money and Finance. Someone broke the figures down. What amazed me is the amount Clubs pay in stamps. Should have trained harder when I was younger!!
