Hi,

I've been working for an IT firm for 18 months on a permanent contract, salary of 65k, with a few other minor benefits such as vhi, pensions.

I've been offered 10 months gross salary as a redundancy payment, works out at about 54.2k.

I'm 28, no kids, an apartment in negative equity, savings of about 30k.

How do I work out how much of the 54.2k I will actually take home?

if there is a lot of tax to be paid, is their an alternative solution so that I pay less?


thx

Hi Kildon, you can get your 1st redundancy payment tax free up to 30,000. After that its taxed...at least this is how it was about 18 months ago. If this has changed, I stand corrected. THe only other way to lower what tax to pay would to accept a lower payment.
 
Anything here

Don't forget about Top slicing relief to be claimed at the end of the tax year
