This Households Below Average Income (HBAI) report presents information on living standards in the United Kingdom year on year from financial year ending (FYE) 1995 to FYE 2021.
It provides estimates on the number and percentage of people living in low-income households based on disposable income. Figures are also provided for children, pensioners and working-age adults.
Use our infographic to find out how low income is measured in HBAI.
Most of the figures in this report come from the Family Resources Survey, a representative survey of around 10,000 households in the UK.
Summary data tables and publication charts are available on this page.
The directory of tables is a guide to the information in the summary data tables and publication charts file.
UK-level HBAI data is available from FYE 1995 to FYE 2020 on https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/jsf/login.xhtml" class="govuk-link">Stat-Xplore online tool. You can use Stat-Xplore to create your own HBAI analysis. Data for FYE 2021 is not available on Stat-Xplore.

Households in the lower income quantiles in England in 2024 were more likely to own a household outright than to be currently buying with a mortgage. As the weekly gross income of a household goes up, so does the likelihood that it occupies a home purchased with a mortgage. Of households in the first quantile (lowest income), 4.1 percent were buying with a mortgage, compared to 39.3 percent in the fifth quantile (highest income).
In 2022/23, the top quintile of earners in the United Kingdom had an average household disposable income of approximately ****** British pounds, compared with ****** for the bottom quintile.

In this paper, we propose a model of income dynamics which takes account of mobility both within and between jobs. The model is a hybrid of the mover-stayer model of income dynamics and a geometric random walk. In any period, individuals face a discrete probability of moving, in which case their income is a random drawn from a stationary recurrent distribution. Otherwise, they stay and incomes follow a geometric random walk. The model is estimated on income transition data for the United Kingdom from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) and provides a good explanation of observed non-linearities in income dynamics. The steady-state distribution of the model provides a good fit for the observed, cross-sectional distribution of earnings. We also evaluate the impact of tertiary education on income transitions and on the long-run distribution of incomes.
The overall wealth of households in the United Kingdom was 13.5 trillion British pounds in the period between 2020 and 2022. Of this overall wealth, the top ten percent of households had over 5.5 trillion pounds of wealth, compared with 13.9 billion owned by the lowest wealth decile.
