To ask what YOU think a high salary is?

[minimummies]

Going off the back of the salary thread and the savings threads. A lot of people are aghast at the wages and say that ppl are lying!

What do you think is a high wage for say a woman in their 30's?!
Would you say differently for a man?

I think anything over 100k is a high wage for either. 25-35k would be low imo and anything in the middle would be a good salary.

I'm not in London. I think 35k is good

If 25-35 is low then what about under 25 OP which is what a log of people earn?

It is all relative.

I would consider over £75k ish to be a high earner whether a man or woman

I understand £27k is about average

I consider over £40k to be a good salary but again it depends on all the circumstances eg it's one thing if there is one earner in the house on £40k and quite another if two adults working and earning that amount each

50k. Especially for someone in their 30s.

Over 35

Where I live, I would think anything over 35k was pretty good.

Under 25k to me would be extremely low and I would expect it to be a part time role if I'm honest.

I think £20k is low. £30- 40k (which both me & Dh come into is mid range.

£60k plus is high. £100k is rich beyond my imagination.

I'm not in London either

£50,000 (higher rate tax payer territory) is high imo, especially if only in 20s or 30s.

I am in the midlands and £100,000 for a single earner would be almost unheard of.

Upwards of £250k

£45k+ is a high salary, I'm in the South East not London.

Over 35 would be good. Over 50 wouls be high.

Under 25 are lots of roles - family support worker, childcare worker, admin jobs, library assistants, TAs (sort of part time), many many many jobs. Bit surprised how out of touch you are that youd assume part time.

£100k+

I am in the midlands and £100,000 for a single earner would be almost unheard of

All your full time GPs, most hospital consultants and dentists will be on over £100k

Anything over £200k

Under 25k to me would be extremely low and I would expect it to be a part time role if I'm honest.

The median household income in the UK is about £30k so under £25k could not be considered 'extremely low'

Who cares?
Also is it wage or income, Im salaried at 37k but earn 6.5k on top from other sources.
Would that make me low, middle or high? My partner wage is crap, so our household income isnt high.
As long as you can pay your bills then that's good.

This just depresses me...

I consider anything over £70k to be high- London myself

I think 35k is a great salary for either sex

🤣🤣🤣

Many jobs are under that wage and certainly not part time. Many are even 40+ hours!

Scotland 40-50 would be a dream

This makes you sound quite ignorant OP.

How about you look up what the average person in the UK earns before you ask Mumsnet as you seem to be lacking in the basics.

How pretentious and annoying

In london & the south east i would consider the following for a man or woman in 30s:
High: 80k and over
Mid: 40 -80k
Low: 20-40k
Very low: under 20k

If someone worked part time out of choice I would bracket their income on what the annual salary would be working full time.
