    Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

    Assuming you have no other income and normal tax code, you're correct.

    Anything above that will be taxed at 25% of the net.

      That's correct - Remember to consider any other taxable income you have such as bank interest, property income etc.

            That'll give you a take home of around £3k a month. Cut out the dancing girls and the bubbles and you'll be fine

                Doesn't the maximum dividend you can take without paying tax increase if you personally make pension contributions?

                  That is correct, your basic rate band is extended by the gross value of the contribution. For example, if you pay in £800 net, the gross contribution is £1,000. The basic rate band extends from £32,010 to £33,010 (based on 13/14 rates).

                  Note that this is restricted to your earned income. If you therefore have a salary of say, £7,000, it would not be wise to contribute in excess of the salary level. Company contributions above this amount are ok however.

                    Martin, where is Craig? My guess is either A&E after starting a brawl with a load of accountants or he got lucky last night.
