The first payslip
Payday came, and the money in the bank isn't the salary in the offer letter.
- Snap the payslip. faff picks out the pay date and what you take home.
- Check the gross pay matches what you agreed.
- Name each deduction: tax, National Insurance, pension, student loan.
- Match take-home pay to the bank. Something wrong? Ask payroll in writing.

The council tax letter
A letter with a band, a yearly total and ten payment dates. Is any of it right?
- Snap the bill. faff reads the year's total, the first payment and the band.
- Check your band, and that you're getting the discounts you're due.
- Set up direct debit, and get reminded before the first payment.
- Struggling? Talk to the council before you miss one.

A bill in French
Facture, TTC, PDL. You owe something to someone, but what, and by when?

- Check it's really yours, and learn what you're paying for.
- Pay it before it's due, with a reminder so it never slips.
- Switch on direct debit, and check if you can get help with rent.
