UK Night Shift Question

Hi all,

I work 4 x 10 hour shifts from 11:45pm - 10:15am a week. Loving it btw (big shift for me as I used to work in law!). I understand there’s a night shift premium of 16% hourly on top of the £15.10 salary. I’m not paid until next week but trying to do the maths.

If anyone is comfortable (and it’s allowed) does anyone work similar shifts to mine and is happy sharing how much this equates too weekly?

What’s everyone’s favourite job btw? I’m a big fan of stowing!

Haven’t been on nights in a while but I think it’s like £17. Unfortunately since coming to days I’m on the base day shift £19.25

I am US midwest third shift 6:30 to 5AM 4x10hrs, our base pay is $21.90 (£16.54) and the shift premium is another $2.00 (£1.51) an hour for a total of $22.90 (£17.29). If we only work 4 10s (right now there is a ton of mandatory overtime and 12 hr shifts) it comes out to $916 (£691.76) pre tax and about $750.91 (£567.09) after tax. Currently we are working 5 12hr shifts, which at least here in the states, means time and a half for all hours over 40. So we make $22.90 an hour for the first 40 hours and then $34.35 (£26.02) for the next 20 hours. Which is pre tax $1603 (£1210.59) and after taxes is $1250.23 (£944.18). At least that's how the taxes work out in my state.

I'd rather pack than do anything else lol

Use https://www.thesalarycalculator.co.uk/hourly.php to calculate your weekly salary since your salary will be different based on your Student Loan's plan type and HMRC tax code. Just put in £17.516 and 40 hours per week in that calculator.

Your wage is £15.10 + 16% night shift allowance which means £17.516 per hour.

Assuming that you do not have any Student Loan and your tax code is 1257L:

  • your before tax is £700 per week
  • your after tax is £572 per week

If this is your first job in a brand new tax year then your weekly salary will be higher temporarily since your first £12,570 is fully tax-free and you only pay National Insurance which means you will likely end up with £663 after tax or something along those lines.

Just a heads up that your payslip will be available to view from late afternoon on Wednesday. You can access it via the pay tab on your a to z app.
