Annual estimates of UK regional gross disposable household income (GDHI) for local authorities by International Territorial Level (ITL) region.
Facebook
TwitterIn 2022/23 the median annual household disposable income in the United Kingdom amounted to approximately ****** British pounds. Between 1994/95 and 2007/08 the average household disposable income showed year-on-year increases, but after this point, income levels began to stagnate and even decline in some years. Although average household disposable resumed a steady growth pattern between 2012/13 and 2016/17, it has fluctuated in more recent years, and declined in the most recent two years. Economic shocks and disposable income The steady growth of disposable income from 1994 to 2008 reflected the generally healthy UK economy in that period. After the global financial crisis, however, the UK economy was plunged into a deep recession that is mirrored by a decline in disposable income. Although there was a period of recovery between 2013 and 2016, the UK economy has suffered a series of economic shocks since that point. The Brexit Referendum of 2016, and the subsequent economic and political fallout, was followed by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and in more recent years by the Inflation Crisis and Ukraine War. Living costs putting UK households under pressure Between January and April 2022, the share of people reporting an increase in their living costs compared with the previous month rose from ** percent to ** percent. This corresponded with significant price increases at that time, with CPI inflation surging from *** percent in February 2021 to a **-year-high of **** percent by October 2022. Although inflation did gradually start to decline in the following months, it wasn't until July 2023 that wages caught up with inflation. The surge in energy and food prices that caused this high inflation, was devastating for UK households, leading to the worst Cost of Living Crisis for decades.

Stat-Xplore and the underlying dataset has also been updated to reflect the revised 2022 to 2023 data.

TwitterOfficial statistics showing annual estimates of NUTS3 regional Gross Value Added (GVA) and Gross disposable household Income (GDHI). Tables show estimates of total GVA, GVA per head, GVA per head index, Gross disposable household Income (GDHI) and GDHI per head at current basic prices. Gross Value Added (GVA) (Income Approach) estimates at current prices for the years since 1997 for the 12 regions and countries of the UK plus Extra-Regio (NUTS1). Data available at NUTS1 (eg London), NUTS2 (eg Inner London), and NUTS3 level (eg Inner London - West). Gross disposable household income (GDHI) is the amount of money that households have available for spending or saving, hence ‘disposable income’. This is the money left after expenditure associated with income e.g. taxes and social contributions, property ownership and provision for future pension income. It is produced and published at current basic prices and is made up of a number of components. GDHI is comprised of the sum of two balances, the balances of primary and secondary incomes. The balance of primary incomes is mainly employment income, self-employment income, rental income and income from deposits and investments, less interest paid. The balance of secondary incomes is mainly income from benefits, pensions and insurance claims less income tax, council tax, pension contributions and insurance premia. The NUTS2 and 3 boundaries were changed from 1st January 2015. For London, the former NUTS3 areas are now the NUTS2 areas, and the new NUTS3 areas comprise smaller groups of local authorities. A range of Regional Economic Indicators are available on the ONS website.
