To ask how much you save each month roughly?

As the title says - how much does the average household save each month once everything is paid? Some families won’t be able to save anything and that’s their experience.

zero
£50
£100
£200
£500
£750

We’re all different of course but would like some insight of the average house - thanks

2.5k approximately. Lots of things we need to save for currently though!

£0

But I have 2 houses, a child and defined benefits pensions. So I’m all good.

I have some high outgoings at the moment and working slightly part time. All of which will alter shortly, then I will be back to saving about £1k monthly.

£1.2k per month

We have 2 DCs and a large mortgage. Not much at the moment as I'm on mat leave so only £200 a month at the moment. Once I'm back at work we'll be saving about £600 a month.
