There are free tools online which can be used to find out what the "in hand" salary for you would be, post tax & NI.

Rent could be 600-800 pcm (1 bedroom/shared flat). Add to that food+travel+pub visits+ eating out+ commute to work and you have a fairly good idea. Does 40k include bonus as well?
regards,

No , bonus is separate.
Yes i'm aware of those tools , My question was more inclined towards Swindon.
As I've heard that costs vary a lot according to the cities there .
