How about if I disregard my partner salary and just add the £1400 savings to my £17380 income, wouldn't that be sufficient?
By the way would the furloughed September and October be counted as 100% of the salary? Or the use that only until 31 August?

Not sufficient at all.

Furlough wages maybe counted as full (100%) until the end of this scheme in October as implied in following official quote without mentioning any date for it:
If your salary has reduced because you’re furloughed, we will take account of your income as though you’re earning 100% of your salary.

Thanks a lot seagul for clarifying things for me.
The only way out than as I understand it, is to find a new job starting 1st November with a minimum of £1220 pcm, at least for the month of November, to add it to my 11 month income of £17380 or a miracle from my employer to keep me for at least a month although they mentioned a closing down.

I am sorry but I am still puzzled. Bare with me please. Let's try this, after reading and re-reading the rules I came up with this calculations. Please check this for me.
1- My salary of 1580x11months÷12=1448
My partner's 1600÷12=133
Both salaries are 1448+133=1581x12=18900
2- My salary of 1580x5 months ÷6= 1316×12+1600=17400
My partner's 1600 for the whole year
Which one is correct?
If No 1 is wrong please explain.
I hope I is clear.
Thank you

All above calculations are wrong where you seems of having been trying to calculate an average annualised income by relying on completely wrong number of months. Also, the same also doesn't seems to be fit in your case because you & your partner are aren't a none-salaried person due to having fixed wages. Due to your partner not being employed with present employer from 6 months, and also isn't earning sufficiently whilst you won't be employed on the date of application, therefore, category B won't be succeeded which was the only viable option in your case, I am afraid.

Fair enough. What would be the right calculation to come to a figure below the MIR using the 2 incomes I mentioned?
And, what would my partner or his employer do, for Oct&Nov pay, to make a sufficient MIR to combine it with my salary of course?
Thanks again

There is no rocketry theory over calculating the income under category B salaried person rather an aggregative income from all jobs held by both partners from all employers during the last 12 months is taken to meet its one part out of two.

And according to what you said, I quote" You can add £1400 into your wages without dividing by 2.5. therefore my wages of 11 months at 17380+1400=18780 without including my partner's income.
Why the Mir not met?

you and/or your partner should be earning at least £18600 (£1550 pcm) on the date of application, which in your case is only £800 pcm.

There was another question I asked about topping up my income with savings could you please look into it. Thanks
If it's not good enough than assume I start a new job on the 1st Nov. That will pay 750 would that be sufficient? In this case both of us would have earned 1550 on the day of application which is 1st December, would it meet Mir?

You can use your saving by that way as you have shown as per above which still won't be counted over its
other part "where you and/or your partner need to be earning at least £18600 on the date of application". You just need to find a new job giving you £750 pcm, same as you are planning.

Thank you very much for your help I am sorry I insisted all this time. I know I am dumb but now I understand. I will have to have a new job that pays 750 minimum. full stop.
My partner worked for 25 years in this country until he lost his job back in January and me started working on August 2017 until the end of this month. It so cruel not to be granted ilr.
Thank you again

1 question please.
Payslip and bank statement match the salary received in one of the months, but on my HMRC account is different.
What should I do to rectifying that?
Thank you

Many have reported same perhaps due to prolonged inactivity during the lockdown where employer & HMRC couldn't update the paye accounts. However, most likely it won't negatively impinge the outcome.
