To ask your yearly household income?

[Sfuandtired]

Feel free to say I am being unreasonable and tell me to mind my own business, it’s a genuine question though, I’m interested in finding out if the wealth divide really is as big as it’s portrayed in the media and/or if I’m losing touch with reality.
I’ll start, ours is 60k after tax, 2 working adults and 2 children and I’d consider us to be in the average range. TIA

60k - single parent - really really struggling

Get up at 12 and start to work at 1, take an hour for lunch and then at 2 I’m done- jolly good fun

DH ft work me sahm UC top up £27.5k a year. You're above average

Surely where people live makes a difference as a 3 bed family home varies so much in price and rent!?

£50k before tax is amazing in some areas but would not be much in the south East!

Household income of£250,000 . I work four days in a very well paid job. I love my life and my income. I can’t believe my luck really!

3.2 billion last year.

I never said they work full time.

and here is the average full time stats

I'll answer you but mumsnet has quite a skewed population, it has a lot of higher earners.

Like others we're in the south east.

Pre tax c. £300k annual income, its about £180k after tax. 2 working adults, 2 children. Clearly we are in the upper end of the scale. DH is from a privileged background. I'm from a very average background. We both chose career paths that pay well, have worked hard but had plenty of luck along the way.

We feel very lucky, we also would rather pay more tax if it meant more money for healthcare and education.

£25k a year, North East, single but supporting university student DD on placement year as she's living at home and can't work due to placement.
Student loan covers her travel, I pay for everything else.
It's the best wage I've ever earned and above average for the area/industry.

@ActDottie Seems that mums net is a bit out of touch or just people on here tend to surround themselves with people who make similar to them and think that’s normal.
In my circles in the NW anything above £50k of household income is definitely in the upper range

£42k, mid 20s and live in the NW

Is that before or after tax?

£65.5k after tax for a household of two adults. I appreciate we’re lucky to have just under £5.5k a month between us but we went through some lean years when we were first together.

Around 63k ( gross ) , supporting 2 kids through Uni at the same time. Luckily no mortgage.

This thread would show otherwise..

Four groats and a pickled egg.

Seriously, OP, the ONS literally produces a scale on this so you can see exactly where you sit. Straw polls of anonymous liars strangers will either depress you or give you totally false data. Go and look for actual, reliable information if it’s so important to know.

Surely the important bit is whether or not you’re being paid a fair market rate for what you do, and whether or not you have enough to live on. Any other measures are meaningless.

£986,452.37 before tax. Per month.

2 pensions, live in Spain around 60k gross.

About 110k pre-tax, 2 adults (I’m PT on 4 days) and 1 toddler. We live in NE England but relatively expensive area (for the NE anyway). Both ended up (somewhat accidentally) in industries that pay well and both still studying for professional qualifications alongside our jobs.

£700k. Am chief exec of the Post Office

People on Mumsnet
a) aren't representative of the population as a whole and
b) can just make stuff up

DH earns £72k I earn approx £28k in my main job (I’m part time) and do extra work bring in maybe £5-6k more a year? So total just over £100k I think.

we don’t feel wealthy- mortgage is big, childcare costs are high. We have one old handed down car and spend a lot of money on essential home repairs. One holiday a year. I appreciate we are very lucky though and we are grateful for everything we have. I’m a nurse and the situation many of my patients are in are heartbreaking.

Currently 164k, will be 180k in June. Two adults, both full time, two children.

£150k, two adults no kids but a very spoilt dog.

75k before tax- Husband works full time (57k) and I work part time (18k), we have 2 young children. I think our income will fall into the average category, but, as of late we’re definitely feeling the pinch 😫
