hi there im new here

im trying to apply for a spouse visa but i have a few questions

my basic sallary is £15,892 per annum

however i get bonuses and shift premuims added on to my payslips every month

i get payed monthly

on my monthly payslips my basic pay is £1324.33
(this is always the same in every payslip)

im looking at all the last 6months payslips right know in front of me

the minimum bonuses i reaceved in the last 6 months on one of my payslips was £185

the minimum shift premium i reaceved in the last 6 months on one of my payslips was £66.40

and on all other payslips bonuses and shift premiums are way over that

is this sufficent income to meet the requirement

reply would be great

thanks in advance

Add up all your bonuses and premiums for past 6 months; divide by 6 to find average.

Add this figure to your monthly salary. If it comes to over 1,550 per month then you have reached the monthly level to equate to a 18,600 annual salary.

here are the calculations

Bonuses and Shift Premiums and Holiday and Shift Premium Holiday Pay Reaceved in the last 6 months are TOTAL £2,547.35

DIVIDE BY 6 = £424.5 Then added to my basic monthly pay £1324.33

TOTAL £1670.57

when applying do i need a cover letter from company explaining BONUSES AND SHIFT PREMIUMS on my payslip

Because the cover letter they gave me only explains

company name
nature of job
from what day i have been employed from
explains permanent employed
shows salary for annum which is £15.892

(nothing about bonouses or shift premiums)

wil this be enough info for the case handler,

thanks in advance

To be absolutely sure the ECO has all the information regarding salary, bonus' and premium payments it would benefit you for this to be in the employment letter. The more info the better.
