What does “pre-tax” mean for my stipend?

Tax conversations are complicated and City Year is not allowed to provide guidance on taxes. That said, candidates understandably want to understand how much money they will actually receive through the bi-weekly stipend City Year provides.

While your circumstances may vary, many alumni shared that in their particular situations, they were taxed about 17% on their stipend.

On the ratio of wages in Russia and China

On the ratio of wages in Russia and China

ICSI study on wages in Russia and China and the peculiarities of Chinese statistics.

Recently, there have been more and more reports that in terms of wages in industry, China has overtaken Russia and other developing countries. However, calculations that take into account the peculiarities of Chinese statistics show that the level of wages in Russia in 2016 is comparable to that in China. The growth of the ruble exchange rate in 2017 will most likely lead to the fact that wages in Russia will be higher than wages in China at the end of the year.

A number of recent studies claim that wages in China are outpacing those of many emerging economies.

Over the past ten years, against the backdrop of high growth rates in the Chinese economy, official statistics in China have shown a significant increase in household incomes and wages of workers. Since rising wages will eventually lead to the disappearance of one of the global competitive advantages of the Chinese economy (cheap labor) and in the future may have serious consequences for the global economy in the form of changes in investment and trade flows, recently more and more research has touched on the question of wage comparison fees in China with other countries.

For example, a study by Bank of America Merrill Lynch estimates that wages in Mexico were 40% lower in dollar terms in 2016 than in China (1). A study by Euromonitor International showed that industrial hourly wages in Latin America were lower in 2016 than in China (2). The Bank of Russia also estimated that annual wages in the manufacturing industry of the Russian Federation, expressed in euros, in 2016 were 37% lower than the corresponding indicator for China (3).

Interpretation of the results of international comparisons should be approached with caution due to the shortcomings of the statistical data on which they are based

An important condition for cross-country comparisons is the availability of comparable data. This means that the indicators used for comparison should be calculated using the same or similar methodology. Comparability of statistical data is ensured by the adherence of national statistical offices to internationally accepted statistical standards. However, in the field of labor market statistics, international standards are still valid only in the field of employment and unemployment (4). There is much less unity between countries (especially developing ones) in the methodology for calculating wage indicators. The indicators may differ in terms of data sources (administrative data, sample surveys, census results) in terms of coverage of categories of enterprises and workers, periods of statistical observations (5). For example, India’s statistics do not cover all those employed in industry, and in Mexico, national data are only available since 2005. China’s official statistics also have their own specifics, which imposes even more restrictions on the results of international comparisons.

From the point of view of comparing the competitiveness of industries in different countries, a more important indicator is not the level of wages, but employers’ labor costs, which, in addition to wages, also include employers’ costs for social security and payroll taxes. However, the availability of these data is significantly lower. For example, the latest version of the International Labor Organization (ILO) database of key labor market indicators provides labor cost per employee data for only 47 countries. In comparison, the average monthly earnings data in the same database covers 132 countries (6).

In the public domain, the most complete data on labor costs (hourly compensation costs) until recently were presented on the website of the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Comparison of countries was carried out within the program of international comparisons (International Labor Comparisons, ILC). However, this program was halted in 2013 due to cuts in funding from the federal government (7). The latest labor cost estimates were based on data from 2012. However, the estimates for China and India were presented by the Bureau of Labor Statistics not in a common table with the rest of the countries, but separately, due to “data gaps and differences in methodology” (8).

Currently, the calculation of indicators using a similar methodology is carried out by the research organization The Conference Board. In fact, The Conference Board data is a continuation of the Bureau of Labor Statistics data series from 2012. In the comments to the calculations, The Conference Board also refers to the weak international comparability of data for China (9). On the website of the organization, the latest available estimates for China and India refer to 2014, for the rest of the countries data are given for 2015.

Wage data in the PRC are not fully representative, as they do not cover all categories of workers

There is no single indicator of the level of wages in industry and in the economy as a whole in the official statistics of the PRC. In the materials of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) of the PRC, one can find several indicators that assess the average level of wages for various categories of workers.

First, the statistical yearbook of the NBS provides data on the average wage of employed persons in urban units (10). Most often, this indicator is used to describe the dynamics of wages in the Chinese economy. However, it should be noted that in the preface to the labor market section of the yearbook, there is a disclaimer that urban enterprises in this publication refer to the so-called “urban non-private units” (城镇非私营单位) ( a more detailed description of the classification of enterprises in official statistics is provided in the Appendix). According to the NBS, enterprises in this sector account for only 23% of the total number of people employed in the Chinese economy and less than half (44%) of the number of employed among the urban population.

Second, since 2009, the NBS has been publishing annual wage survey data for urban private units (城镇私营单位) in urban enterprises. The private sector includes enterprises created or controlled by individuals. The first private enterprises appeared in China in the early 1990s. During this period, private enterprises occupied an insignificant share in the structure of the Chinese economy and, therefore, were poorly represented in official statistics, which mainly carried out continuous monitoring of the activities of enterprises that were state-owned or collectively owned. However, over time, the proportion of those employed in such traditional enterprises, which are part of the “ non-private sector ” was decreasing, while the share of employed people not included in the statistics was increasing. As a result, official statistics was forced to expand the program of statistical surveys of private sector enterprises. According to the latest available data, these enterprises account for 28% of the urban population (Figure 1).

Third, the NBS annually publishes estimates of the average monthly wages of internal labor migrants in the PRC based on survey data. Labor migrants occupy a significant share in the labor force of the Chinese economy. According to NBS estimates, the number of migrants reaches 36% of the total number of people employed in China, about half of them (44%) work in cities. However, the majority of migrants work without an employment contract (65%) and, therefore, may not be included in official statistics when surveying urban enterprises.

Thus, the available data of the NBS on wages in China, in fact, refer to different categories of employees. Moreover, averaging wages for these categories of workers is also not possible, since there is no complete information on the structure of employment in official statistics (only information is provided on certain categories of employees, which do not give 100% in total).

The incomplete nature of Chinese statistics can be illustrated by the example of manufacturing industry

The official statistics of the PRC provides data on the distribution of employed people by aggregate sectors of the economy. There are no more detailed data on sectoral distribution (Table 1). Estimates of the number of employed in individual sectors (for example, in the manufacturing industry) can only be obtained indirectly, based on a comparison of indicators from various sources.

According to the NBS, the number of employed in the so-called. “secondary sector”, which, in addition to the manufacturing industry, also includes mining, production and distribution of electricity, gas and water, as well as construction, is 226. 9million people. However, the exact distribution of the number of employed in these 4 types of activities is unknown. The statistics of the NBS on the structure of employment cover only those employed in the enterprises of the “private” and “non-private” sectors, which in total number 153.6 million people. Information about the sectoral affiliation of the remaining 73.3 million employed is unknown (Fig. 2).

Thus, the common practice of comparing manufacturing wages between the PRC and other countries is actually based on incomplete data. The total number of people employed in China’s manufacturing industry can only be estimated approximately. The minimum estimate of the number of employed is 103.1 million people (the sum of those employed in non-private and private sector enterprises). If we assume that 50% of unrecorded workers are employed in the manufacturing industry, then the estimate of the total number of people employed in the industry will increase to 140 million people. However, wage data is available for only 67 million people (50.7 million employed in urban non-private sector enterprises and 16.3 million estimated to be employed in urban private sector enterprises).

When using different indicators of China’s official statistics, the results of comparing Russia and China differ significantly

will be 30% lower than in Chinese enterprises. However, if we use the indicator of wages in manufacturing enterprises of the PRC private sector or among internal labor migrants, then the level of wages in Russia no longer looks so underestimated (Fig. 3).

If we calculate the weighted average of wages in China, taking the wages of unrecorded workers equal to the wages of migrants, then the level of wages in the manufacturing industry in China in 2016 will be $555, which exceeds the Russian indicator by only 6.9% . At the end of 2017, taking into account the growth of the ruble exchange rate against major currencies, a significant increase in wages in foreign currency terms can be expected in Russia. Thus, in January-July 2017, the average wage in the manufacturing industry of the Russian Federation increased to $651 per month, which is 25.3% higher than the average monthly figure in 2016.

Annex

Classification of enterprises and wage observation system in Chinese official statistics

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) payroll survey system of the PRC is based on information collected from two different sources. The first source is the monitoring of labor market indicators among enterprises of the so-called non-private sector (non-private units, 非私营单位). The second source covers the activities of private sector enterprises (private sector units, 私营单位).

China’s private sector wage monitoring system only started operating in 2009d. Accordingly, prior to 2009, the NBS published wage data only for non-private sector enterprises. The non-private sector includes enterprises with state, collective or mixed ownership, as well as enterprises created with the attraction of foreign investment. In fact, not all enterprises of this type are state-owned, some of them have private institutional investors.

Surveys of enterprises in the two sectors are conducted once a year, respectively, data on employment and wages are available only on an annual basis, quarterly and monthly data are not published.

The monitoring of employment and wages in non-private sector enterprises is carried out by the method of continuous observation. Enterprises are required to submit reports through a specially created electronic system. The coverage of private sector enterprises by statistical observation depends on the number of employees. Enterprises with more than 100 employees participate in the complete survey. Enterprises employing between 20 and 99 people are subject to selective observation. The sample survey should cover 10% of enterprises in this category. As for small enterprises with 19 employeespeople or less, then the assessment of the level of wages at these enterprises is carried out by indirect methods, direct observation of them is not carried out.

How much do IT specialists in the UK earn and how much do they spend / Sudo Null IT News

Hail Coder!

Not so long ago, we released a video on our channel (https://youtu.be/OC4nDT7J31Q), where I analyzed the average annual salaries of programmers in the UK, as well as some basic expenses, comparing London and (relatively remote) Nottingham.

I think that many Habr readers will find this information useful, at least just for familiarization and broadening their horizons.

So, a small table on programming languages, where I conditionally divided the skill level into Junior, Middle and Senior. Of course, employers are looking for what you know and related technologies. Knowledge of Git, Linux, frameworks and others are also included in the list of requirements, although the main search query may be any one programming language, but it is used rather as a flag for finding vacancies.

Of course, only with the knowledge of Core Java you are unlikely to be hired even as a junior, so for the legend all the figures given imply additional knowledge, and if this topic is interesting, write in the comments, I will be happy to prepare material on the requirements for applicants – starting from technology and experience to English and soft skills.

And don’t write: “I have a friend in London, he earns more / less”, the figures below are the average temperature for the hospital, based on static data at the time of the review.

You can look here and here.

What happens to the salary then? And then the taxes start.

The UK has a PAYE (Pay As You Earn) system. As planned, it should adjust the percentage of tax collected depending on the amount earned by the individual.

By the way, since the level of income can conditionally “jump” due to bonuses, raises, dismissals and other volatility, then once a year you can receive a letter from HMRC – Her Majesty’s financial inspection that you either overpaid, and they tell you what -something they owe, or underpaid, then, be kind – bring it in. How much exactly you will unfasten to the state is reflected in your tax code, that is, the tax code, which is reviewed once a financial year.

So, the percentage of taxation works at the following levels:
Up to £12.500 per year – 0%. This is the so-called “non-taxable minimum”.

£12.501 – £50K – 20% Base Rate. base rate. Typically, junior developer payroll taxes fall into this space. The average salary of a police officer is £26K per year.
£50K – £150K – 40%. Higher Rate. Increased rate.
£150K+ – 45% Additional Rate. Additional rate for everything above 150 thousand per year.

That is, if you receive, for example, £90K a year, then the first £12.500 will not be taxed, then you will pay 20% on part of the salary in the range of £12.501 – £50K, 40% in the range of £50K – £150K, and 45% for everything else. Therefore, for many very well-earned developers, there are other financial incentives that are taxed much less, such as dividends.

Exception, when you earn over £100K a year, you lose a pound from the exemption for every 2 you earn over £100K.

You can look here

But that’s not all. The country has a National Insurance system and every Briton who has reached the age of 16 or who arrives for the first time in employment is issued the so-called National Insurance Number (National Insurance Number or NIN).

National insurance is divided into classes, but on average, an employed developer will pay 12% into this fund.

You can look here.

Now let’s look at other expenses that everyone will definitely face. Again, these are numbers that are heavily contrived to the nose, provided for the general impression. Below, I will leave a link to a site where you can see by city how much it costs and even compare with the prices of your hometown.

The UK, like many other countries, is ranked by spending levels from north to south. Life in the northern counties, Scotland and Wales is much cheaper than in the same London or even on the south coast.

For example, I will compare the cities of London where you can buy a parking space in the area for £350k (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/uk-s-most-expensive -car-parking-space-market-ps350-000-a6939011.html) and Nottingham, located in the East Midlands, the very center of England, with moderate prices of the average large city of the English north.

Renting a house. One bedroom flat – A one-bedroom apartment, but in fact: a living room + bedroom + kitchen + bathroom and sometimes even a corridor, in London, depending on the distance from the center and the pretentiousness of the area, it will cost an average of £ 1250 to £ 2500 per month. A similar property in Nottingham will be £560-£800 per month.

Note/observation from life. In 2008, I rented a 3 bedroom house with parking in the suburbs of Nottingham for £450 a month. Then came the credit crunch. To save the economy, the Bank of England began to feverishly print papers and bail out banks that played with subprime loans. As a result, the money supply in the country has increased and you will not find such prices as in 2008.

The dynamics of the growth in the value of real estate in the United Kingdom can be viewed here.

Directly to the rent you need to add a communal apartment with the so-called “council tax” – a municipal tax, which includes: the work of the police, firefighters, garbage collection and other needs of the city.

So, for council tax + water + electricity / gas + internet, you can pay off somewhere else £200-£300 per month. Again, the amount is so approximate that I already feel uncomfortable. Naturally, energy consumption will depend on the time of year and lifestyle, as well as municipal tax – on the municipality, but you have to start from something.

By the way, for incorrect parking, you can easily unfasten from £20 to £100 depending on the city.

If you still smoke, it’s better to tie it up before moving, as a pack of Marlboro here costs £12, and the fine for throwing a steer in the wrong place at the wrong time is from £50.

Petrol is £1.24 at the time of writing and diesel is £1.30. By the way, the price jumps every day, in addition, the European Union, from which the British safely sailed away, lobbied for a law to ban diesel engines. Electric filling stations, by the way, are not uncommon here and are often installed right on street parking lots, near supermarkets and even in the yards of residential buildings, since the government encouraged the purchase of electric cars with money and discounts.

If there is no personal vehicle, then the easiest way to get around London is by underground: from £130-£210 per month (Oyster card to help). But the travel card in the same Nottingham, which includes a city bus and tram, will cost £ 70 per month.

If you have a child of preschool age or decide to put down roots here, or just “it just so happened”, then I advise you to stock up on cabbage in advance, because the kindergarten will cost, on average, £50 PER DAY!

On a positive note, clothing (branded and luxury) is quite affordable in relation to salaries.
