£21,135/year has a gross hourly rate of £10.16 and a marginal hourly rate of £6.78/hour.

The marginal rate is after 20% income tax and 13.25% NI.

The calculation assumes 40 hours/week.

If you work 5 days/week, the marginal rate will come in on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th day of each week after you have used up all your personal allowances.

So a part-timer working 2 days/week would keep all of the £10.16 gross hourly rate, ie. £8454/year.

If the part-timer is a single parent, they would claim working tax credit. Single parents only need to work 16 hours/week to be able to claim working tax credit. Millions claim this allowance, and it means that the £10.16 gross hourly rate could effectively increase to over £20/hour.

Hence, the full-timer in this example has a marginal hourly pay rate of £6.78/hour, but the part-timer claiming working tax credit effectively takes home over £20/hour for every hour they work.

Because millions are claiming working tax credit, it drives down the hourly pay rates of low skilled jobs because working tax credit claimants do very nicely even on minimum hourly pay rates.

Working tax credit is market manipulation which reduces the hourly pay rate of people doing low skilled jobs who don’t claim this benefit in the same way that flooding the market with cheap EE labour reduces the hourly pay rate of drivers.

Wouldn’t it just :laughing:

Google Maps Satnav on my phone is much better to use for finding places in the middle of nowhere, especially farms, than a paper map. Whilst it’s nice to have the ability to read a paper map you’re not going to struggle much if you can’t and indeed might struggle much less especially when you get those lovely delivery addresses that state the business name and the town.

I didn’t know any of this but obviously another example of unintended consequences. The more they try to ‘do good’ the more they screw up

the top line works out about £450 a week then take out your tax , National insurance and pension .

I’ll pass .
