I need to adjust your maths for my situation as i'm a recently graduated software dev at 41. makes the salary question extra complicated although I recently realised I have over 2 years industry experience from previous work
Granted, it is a lot more difficult to apply the same logic when you are starting out at a later age. Still, as you would be considered a junior developer here in the UK you could probably start to push it to about £27k. The key thing is, if you don't receive a payrise after a year, move on. It's sometimes best to stay in your first role for 2 years to show to other companies you are loyal but after that it's really important that your wage goes up every year. Software development is still in very short supply as a skill and supply and demand has to kick in.
