Two yrs ago was less but with JL you get each few months opportunities to become like furniture fitter, then special training to become able to fit wall hanging furniture and then plumbing course to connect dish or washing machine...
Also driving record and all correct paperwork done over time counts as well.
And these training courses add to your wages.
He's on £16.5 per hour now pre tax and 40hrs
gives that figure.
Oh yes, first he started for agy that is owned by JL.
When he became JL employee was a different story.

Mate ,not being funny just chatting...how can he take home £575 a week after tax if he is on £16.50 an hour ? Unless he is doing massive amounts of overtime?,,,,,anyway lets all become Tube Drivers what a sorted number that is https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/london-tube-drivers-earning-100-000-a-year-qtn8cc9gh

There is an overtime every now and then.
If you wanna belive it or do further maths, fell free. £2300 is round figure and sometimes is £2222 and sometimes £2444....
I know what he takes home and I know he has much better life quality than me.

Cars on rent..
no servicing/depreciation to take into account..
So c£12.50 an hour before income tax and NI?
Remember this is start to finish time
Meaning in a normal job there would be commute to and from work.
I would say 30-45mims each way.
Approx 9-10 hours a week commute.
Please minus commuting fees,
Also petrol insurance etc..
Each day also includes also 30 min break.

If it's £12/13 per h than the overtime is £18 per h. If he works rest day that would be 180 for 10h.

I never know if that's a plus or a minus. If I wasn't a cabby I'd probably be enjoying a yank motor instead of a the tx. I dare say most Uber drivers would be enjoying something better than a prius if they weren't driving one for work. Plus and minus I guess.
