London Analysts - How much AFTER taxes?

I may have a tempting opportunity for me to move to London.
How much can one expect after taxes when earning GBP45 + GBP15-20 bonus a year?

I don't know anything about taxation in London and whether there are some special rules or anything, given that I am a citizen of a central European country (think GER, FRA, NED).

Will the base of GBP45 get taxed with 40% and that's it, or are there additional taxes (f.e. city taxes like in the US, etc.)? So can I expect to receive 45*0.6= 27 on my bank account? And is there a higher tax on bonuses (like 50% or so?)

Can anyone shed some light on this? Many thanks!

ViscountViscous is correct on everything except for NIC.

Your NIC would total 4636 [(353 x 11) + 753]

So you actually lose 20,520 and walk away with 44,480

 

Thank you guys, SBs for both of you!

One last question about that. Will I be paying the national insurance stuff as a non-UK-citizen as well? Like I said, I'm from a continental European country.

And does somebody know if there will be some kind of double taxation (i.e. in the UK as well as in my home country?

Really appreciate it, cheers guys!
