Can you live comfortably off £15-18 an hour?

As the title says.

8-10
Depends on individual circumstances , for me personally i'd need more
probably means 8-10 hours a day don't see why you'd assume weekly

If you're financially independent that's nowhere near enough.

since ur 17 and still presumably living with your parents have no major expenses so for the time being thats great, now you just gotta find out what to do with the rest of your time (part-time etc)

Alone? No.
Also its £30 a day on weekdays, right?
If you worked 10 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, for £15 an hour, you’d be earning £7800 a year or £650 a month.

You may be able to survive on that just about, but it would be a struggle. You’d be living in a room in a shared flat and wouldn’t have much money left after rent, bills and food.

I’ve seen jobs advertised for 2 hours a day. I’ve never looked at electrician jobs, but things like after school clubs, cleaners, some maintenance/caretaker jobs are 2 hours a day or 8-10 hours a week. Retail can be 8-10 hours a week.


If you want people to help you, taking the piss isn’t going to help you get good answers.

yes easily, working 10 hours yields £180 a day, £900 a week and over 3.6k a month and around 46k a year

assuming you are only working for 5 days

Its depend on comfortable capacity.
