average pay

[splatttt]

does anyone know the average pay for under 18's
and also... how much tax you have to pay. I know you do have to pay tax when your 16+. If you earn over a certain ammount per week you get taxed. I have no clue really.

+Rep for any help etcc :)

* £5.52 per hour for workers aged 22 years and older
* A development rate of £4.60 per hour for workers aged 18-21 inclusive
* £3.40 per hour for all workers under the age of 18, who are no longer of compulsory school age.

so err yeah. And tax I think happens in your first pack, but that's given back to you, then you're taxed after you've earnt so much.

Yes, that's right.

I'd say avoid the companies that dish out min wage to their under 18 employees. You are doing exactly the same job, and most retailers and places of work recognise this nowadays - it's a shame a lot don't.

I think I got about £5 an hour when I was under 18's... I don't think retail will give you alot more than min wage... sucky..
