Whilst searching through some boxes last year I found a few of mine
from the late 70s Id kept. The next job after that it was a weekly
giro cheque, some of my colleagues used to try and cash a day later
each week as a form of savings.

Because that not how the people who pay the money quote it.

And it also cocks up if you happen to have deductions for other reasons -
such as travel (which I do in case), pension (again) or anything else.

Also, to be really pedantic, the figure before tax isnt the real number
either - my company spent lots of money (mutter) letting us know our true
value once all the things like company pension contribution/medical etc
were added up.

Contracting its going to be different - the money in, is the money earnt.

Permie, the money that ends up in your account is not the whole picture -
Im with Champ on this one, but there you go :-)
