Is 25000 GBP per year a lot for UK (region is Scotland)? Is it sort medium, well off or very good?

Do offers usually include tax or does it usually still need to be deducted from the amount?

As far as I know the figures given are usually before taxes.
About medium, I'd say. 25,000 is about how much the average academic who's been in his job for a while and is about two thirds of the way up the hierarchy earns per year - but they're generally said to be underpaid. I'd say it's not bad, and it's definitely a salary you can comfortably live by, but it isn't really an amazingly high salary either, since living costs in the UK are quite high. It would really depend on what sort of job it was for and whether it would have to cover rent etc.
