How to use this. The default amounts are starting points for a single person in central London, not quoted prices, so change every field to match your own situation. Council tax varies by borough and band, for example Westminster is among the lowest in the country while neighbouring boroughs charge more. Transport assumes a zone 1 to 2 travelcard, which you can lower if you mostly walk in W1. The total adds up all outgoings and subtracts them from your take-home pay to show what is left each month.
