Can share more about the calculation? The image shows 224k year to date, which seems quite high, even if you factor in basic+allowance, and even bonuses.
(Coz monthly pay only 17400, with allowance, 8months so far, only 139k.
Bonus is based on basic salary of 11.5k- unless you meant that you have already received 7-8 mths bonus year to date?)

YTD income 224,351.43
YTD taxabele income: 224,351.43
YTD taxable benefits: 40.00

Before "i.ibb.co/5B10XSV/Screenshot-2024-09-04-at-09-20-01.png",
you add a "h-t-t-p-s-/-/", remove all the dash

80k bonus is pretty standard.
4.5 months bonus and 30k quality component.

hence it pays to specialise

yea exactly. A lot of people just dont realise how all the components add up or their info is out of date. As a rads AC I am making a similar TC of around 290k but could make more with internal locums

Only a very small percentage of people in these industries make it to these roles. Also these jobs are extremely volatile.

As a doctor, your income is guranteed. Even as an AC I average a comp of around 300k and can look to 400k as a full C. I also have a fulfilling job and can eventually go to private if I really want the big bucks. Yes the work is hard but work is also hard in other sectors
