      n3rdl33roy’s asking lots of questions !
      I’m on approx £25 thousand basic per year.
      Overtime extra if I feel like it / if it’s available.
      22% of that goes to pay my National Insurance + Tax.

      I am on £28,000 annually however this is due to me doing my degree still. When this is finished I should be on about £35,000 annually.
      Even with this amount I get a company car paid for by the company (I only have to pay £10 a month on tax) and plenty of overtime as we currently don’t have enough engineers.

      There are all sorts of extra’s you can get within engineering.

      When I was an apprentice, I was on about £14,500 annually but this money was all spent on things I wanted because I still lived at home. I also applied for scholarship and received money for these along with the company paying for my additional education. There paid for my BTEC, HNC and DOFE (Gold Award).

      I too earn approximately £25000 per year. In my role as a design engineer I rarely get the chance to work overtime, although shift work on experiments is sometimes available. As Graham said, a chunk of this money leaves before it even reaches me!
