Monthly net is £87k and monthly gross is £166k.

87 * 1.91 = 166.

Therefore each £100 costs you £91.

Lets just take a step back here. I aint no good at them fancy perrcentarges and things, but the one number is twice the size of the other, ergo you paid 50% tax

So each £100 costs you £50 ? (to have it)

Personally I'd have phrased that as "This £50 cost me a £100" (cos if your selling £100 notes for £91 I'll take em all!)

Hey the Paris icon's missing! I needed that for all the dumb questions I ask!
