I'm a bit confused about how to find the phase equation of a lossy low pass filter
eg.

For a normal low pass filter it's just arctan(wRC)

So I am comparing this by subbing in values and comparing to a bode plot of an actual circuit on a breadboard and a spice version of the circuit. But this is nothing like what i get in spice, I've checked for errors but I think its something wrong with the way I am actually calaculating it... but can't figure out why?

You multplied by the negative of the conjugate. This will screw up your phase equation.
 
Oh thanks so much! Worked out fine now. I feel so stupid haha, i soooo wasn't thinking when i did that! I get the exact same thing except in the last line it's +1 not -1. Makes a big difference though.
