What do you think classes as a high earner?

[ThinkingABoutThinking221]

Just after ppls opinions on this.

Hear alot about the cost of living etc and the big divide between high and low earners......

What do you think would constitute as a high earner and why? Baring in mind everyone's personal circs......

I’d say anyone over a 150 or so.

For me it would be someone earning over £130k, and in a couple where combined they are over £210k ish.

£100k

150k here too

80/100k I think depending on location?

Over £100k.

Probably 100k and above.

I think you can be “well off” and not a high earner though. Just depends on your location and life choices etc.

People who earn above the national average are good earners but not 100k I wouldn’t necessarily call them high earners but they certainly earn “well”.

Depends where you live. Some parts of London >£500k. Some parts of Scotland >£50k.

150k. 100k really isn’t a high earner in most parts of the SE and London.

120k I would say.

Over 500k

Crikey, I was going to say anything over 45k!

Over £200k London, about £120k elsewhere.

£70k plus

£80k is the top 5% nationally, so I don’t think it’s true to say that £100k isn’t high in the SE. The top 10% of London earners earn £98k.

Only about 5% earn 100k plus so I think that makes them high earners.

Over £150k in SE

Only about 25 thousand people earn that.

180-200k in london

Really depends on location. DH earns over 100k and we live in a modest 3 bed with second hand car even though we're in the north. Can't see it getting much around london

what would you say is a low earner?

Where I live around £60k but whole UK on average probably £100k

Someone who can easily fund their wants as well as their needs and have some left over.

Personally, I think given the tax cliff edge that happens at £100k, really you're looking at £160k++ to actually be reaping the benefits of earning a high salary.

£180k+
