Isn't the commonest bandied about figure that it takes 32 grand to bring up a kid?Although I suppose that's over the course of its life, rather than direct yearly income. If you take that as a base though, and divide that 32,000 by 18 you get, errrrr.
Some money per year.

Using the salary calculatorYearly Monthly Weekly Daily
Take Home £20,553.60 £1,712.80 £395.26 £79.05
So over 18 years, excluding pay rises you'll earn about £360k after tax.

also 360k after tax is not enough to cover 2 sprogs at £220k each and still drink a bottle of wine a night(
