How much rent should I pay?

[GREENI3]

I start a new job this month, and because I've left school, my mum will no longer receive tax credits etc, so it's time for me to start paying my way.
After tax, I should be getting around £600 a month.
How much should I be paying her a month in rent?

Going rate for one bed room in a shared house in my area starts from £350 per month might be worth seeing how much they are in your area and work it out from there.

I used to pay my old lady a third of whatever I earned... I moved out pretty young though.

Try her on £40 per week, she is your mom and not a landlord. How much benefit will she be loosing?

I would've pay mine about £250 a month or there abouts.
My mate pays his dad £300 a month to stay at his.

I earn around the same (£660 after tax) and pay £150 a month.

[Frost]

Room in a shared house is £300+ in most parts. Your share of the bills, food etc probably comes in at another £80 on top, so anything less than that lot is fair. I'd say 150 a month would be nice.

[panrider_uk]

When I lived at home and paid lodge I paid £8/week - just over a third of my income.

I think that makes me old

The guy I work with earns around £2,000 a month after tax and he only pays £120, and he gets two roast dinners every day Cushy.

25 years ago I was paying £60 a week.

I left school and got a weekly wage of £25 and gave my mam £15 I think....never been so well off in my life !!

[95Theses]

I'm going to sound like a cunt here, but if you take home £660 a month that's only 26 hours a week at minimum wage.

The fact that she is going to lose benefits means she can't have that much to herself anyway, you need to get another part time job and pay your Mum more than she looses in benefits so she can have a few treats for herself.

She gave birth to you, she raised you and now it's time to give something back. If she refuses to take more money you need to make sure you get her enough extra stuff to make up for the money she won't take as rent.

Man Up, you're a big boy now.

[Slacker24seve...]

Unfortunately, being stuck with the mother after I split up with the girlfriend I was going to move in with I pay a quarter of my salary. I have done since I started work. Thats about bang on for a shared house or shitty flat/bedsit, minus bills. Also chip in with food etc and she drinks all my booze.

Any less would be nice but taking the piss somewhat, it still gives me plenty to put away for a deposit on a house at some point.... or rather to fund my extravagant lifestyle.

You Sir have just restored a bit of my faith in humanity!

And from a purely selfish point of view, think how good it will feel to have your Mum be proud of you for thinking of Her and not yourself
