Picture the scene. Youíre in the annual pay review meeting. Your boss has just awarded you a 3000 raise for the effort youíve put in over the last year. Good news certainly but wait...what does it actually mean for your pay packet? National Insurance contributions and Income Tax will be subtracted to arrive at your net pay. Also, which tax bracket were you in before the raise? Has that changed now and what does that mean for your pay packet every month? Doing the sums can be a nightmare for you and your companyís accountants.
Worry no more. The popular jobs and careers advice website I-resign.com (http://www.i-resign.com) has launched a WAP version of its Salary Calculator that does all those complex calculations for you. Just grab your WAP phone and from the Services Menu key in wap.i-resign.com. Once youíve entered your gross salary, the calculator will tell you what your net salary is and what your monthly (or annual) Tax and National Insurance deductions will be. No more fumbling around with pens, paper and mental mathematics.
I-resign.comís Salary Tax Calculator is equally useful when youíre attending job interviews. When your prospective new employer talks about your salary, you can whip out your WAP phone and nail down whether it really is good enough or what negotiating position you should adopt. The decision to play hardball or roll over and have your tummy tickled may depend on such timely information.
I-resign.com has been running since September 1999 and now provides the siteís 100,000 plus monthly users with a wealth of advice on doing your job well, information on every aspect of leaving work and, through itís partnership with recruitment site Workthing.com, I-resign can even help you find your next job.
