Hi, it is more of a Just money/salary question that budgeting. So, i recently started a new job which by contract pays 24k per year. Using online calculators, i estimated that after deductions (NI and tax) i will receive around 1650-1690 (dont remember exact amount). Someone on reddit on 24k also confirmed it.

However, on Friday i received my 1st pay and it was 1800!! It was weird because i have not done any overtime and i even started a day after September had started (1st sep was Friday, i started on monday). I have given them my NI, so idk where the money come from. What do u think has happened?
