depends where you live and what you do.
I live in London, as I live alone I could not afford to function/pay bills etc on a wage of less then £16000, rent is £100 a week, then I have council tax, electric, food, and I dont include going out in this. I havent got any money to go out.
If you dont live in London, you dont need as much but unless you still live with your parents, I'd guess you need to be earning at least £15000 to make ends meet.
As you are a trainee, your wage would likely increase after training, its worth finding out when you will be fully trained and how much this will be.
If you work at the minimum wage for about 36 hours a week, you'd recieve about £9000 or £10000 a year, so I'd say you are being offered minimum wage, which is the same rate as shop workers,call services and waiters for example so dnt feel all big headed, but if I were you I'd take the job as trainee roles to get better salaries are so rare, and on the job experience will often play a bigger part in your cv and job hunting then any university degree could do

good luck!

Work out your monthly income (taking account of taxes) and see what you are left with. Make a list of your outgoings, such as bills, rent, food, luxuries, travel and see if this wage will cover it. If not - you'll have to look for something else or cut down on your outgoings.

What are you training to be? If it means in the future your salary will increase considerably then yes it is a good starting wage. The fact that you are working and learning new skills is great, well done and good luck.

This is probably the minimum wage for your age.
More than that, you have a job, if your going as a trainee then you will gain experience and once qualified you would gain a wage increase or could move on.
It is better than being on the DOLE!......Good on ya!

My 18 year old son is on the same wage and he has just bought a car , he goes clubbing twice a week and pays me keep. He lives for the weekend but is skint during the week but if this is your starting salary just think what you can do when you are older.

Sounds normal to me. when I started my apprenticeship I was on 9000 a year. I was 18 at the time. Just outside of manchester.


The Dogs Bollocks
Depending on your job, its about £180 per week before tax.

Personally i wouldn't get out of bed for this!
