isn't that too much, total deduction was 552.44 (also including my student loan deduction)

can anyone advise...
thanx
Please can we swap, I would love those deductions.

I would firstly check you have the correct tax code, then deduct your tax code from your annual salary. (If your tax code is 364L for example you deduct 3640 from your salary)

The tax code amount is free from any deductions, the rest is taxed. As a general rule of thumb you could divide your salary by 3 and then multiply by 2 to give you an idea of what you should be getting. I use that myself as a rough guide, and it gives you an idea what you should get after tax and NI deductions.
