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

@Sfuandtired Feel free to say I am being unreasonable and I should mind my own business.

YABU. Mind your own business. Why ask anyway? The vast majority of posts will not be peoples true salaries anyway. Some will exaggerate and add 30-50% on. Some will blatantly lie and triple or quadruple it. A few will put outlandish and laughable amounts.

OP isn't coming back.

Around £85-90k before tax. Both full time or almost full time (40hrs and 33.5hrs - 33.5 is actually higher earner so should go back to proper full time but really doesn’t want to 🙈)
Income also includes a rental property although we rent for well under current rental value so just about cover mortgage payments/insurance/gas cert, etc on it with very, very little profit
2 children in nursery 1-2 days per week then luckily have family help on other days
Live in Yorkshire

95k after tax excluding bonuses. I earn more than DH - but he has the better lesson so it’s worth him taking home less now. 2 adults and a few spoiled animals.

£72k pa net, both work. It’s just shy of 100k gross I think. We are able to pay our bills and are slowly renovating a house …. we have nothing left at the end of the month. We have two young kids and pay for childcare as no help from family. No foreign holidays and one old vauxhall!

£95000 annually between us. Very high outgoings but our own fault so we do struggle!

Household income approx £112k pa - mostly due to DH salary, I work part-time for myself for a small annual wage in comparison but it is building.

You’re all rich - but don’t know it !

So most of the posters on mumsnet have a household income in the top 12% of the country, which is anything above £65k? Really?

😆

YABU.

Both self employed. We work more when we need money, less if we don't. We don't have a mortgage now, and live both frugally in many respects, but like kings in others.

No idea what I earned last year. I suppose I'll find out when I finally do my tax return

A billion

400k between us split equally. We both work in STEM careers and neither of us are from privileged backgrounds. Neither of us went to school in the uk. We pay for private school for our 2 kids.

75k PA before tax, 2 adults, one wage and one pension, both around 55. No mortgage since we were in our thirties. DS still lives at home and is on 28k before tax.

£5 million. Space cowboy

77k but that's just my salary at the moment as DP is studying. He should be employed within the next few months so hopefully will soon be over 100k. I feel like 77k should feel like a lot in Yorkshire but as others have pointed out its less that 2 people earning the same amount due to tax. After mortgage, childcare and bills it doesn't go too far but I could probably reign it in more so can't complain

£48k before tax and including UC top up, child benefit & DLA.

2 adults working average of 30hrs pw, disabled 10 year old & baby.

We were doing quite well on that, able to afford a couple of trips away and a holiday each year but now with colc we are stretched and have accumulated some debt.

Circa £2Ok. One adult household with 2 primary age DC.

£55k only DH working I get pip so circa 3k one child at home two adult children out of university

My wage as a full time is £21,715 a year and my husbands wage as a Manager is £25,000

65k, West Midlands

2 adults 2 toddlers

I think we're slightly above average for where we are

Ok.

I'm not going to be a dick, but, let's talk about expectations and that's a thing.

How much we think we're worth.

In 1997 I thought 50k a year was a base-line.

Not what do we get paid. But how much are we worth.

How much are you worth?

£145k - 2 X fill time workers plus rental income. both WFH 2 days per week. Own one house outright and paying off second mortgage (rent covers this). Enjoy a nice lifestyle, neither partner or I have university qualifications, just hard work from bottom up!

34k before tax and bonuses. Single parent, one dc at home but working full time after graduating and one dc at university. Struggling!
