About

What this blog covers

DaddyNote explains money and travel rules that people in the UK and Ireland look up every year: take-home pay and income tax, Irish USC and PRSI, what a Budget changes, flight delay compensation under EU261 and UK261, and the Schengen 90/180-day rule. Posts on buying a home, energy bills and moving within Europe will follow.

Next to the posts are calculators. Each one works out its answer from published rules and lists those rules, with links, under the result.

How posts are written

• Every rate, threshold and amount comes from a government or EU page, such as GOV.UK, Revenue, gov.ie, the UK Civil Aviation Authority or Your Europe. Each post lists its sources and the date they were checked.
• Changes that have been announced but are not yet law are labelled that way, for example Budget figures before the Finance Act.
• Where we could not confirm a figure, we leave it out and say so rather than estimate it.
• The operator uses AI tools to help with research, drafting and code, and checks the figures against the source pages before publishing.

What we do not do

We do not recommend banks, insurers, mortgage brokers, energy suppliers or compensation claim companies, and we do not use affiliate links. DaddyNote is an independent blog. It is not connected to any government department or EU body.

Posts and calculators are general information, not financial, tax or legal advice. For your own situation, check with the relevant authority or a qualified adviser.
