Need Help with Salary Conversion Issues

9 years ago
Hello,

I am a United States Citizen assessing job opportunities in the United Kingdom. I do not full understand the conversion, tax rates, cost of living, etc. when looking at jobs, I could use some help.

I currently make $65,000 in the United States, and have been looking at jobs that pay about 40,000 pounds in Scotland and the United Kingdom. Obviously I will still have bills like student loans to pay in the US, but I am curious what I would take home after taxes in the UK? I am new to this, so any advice would help.

Is insurance included, childcare, etc. Just an idea of what my paycheck would look like, and what the cost of bills I would still need to cover would be? Having a 65k US salary, is this a bad idea accepting 40k pounds in the UK? Or will life be improved?
