In 2024, the average annual full-time earnings for the top ten percent of earners in the United Kingdom was 72,150 British pounds, compared with 22,763 for the bottom ten percent of earners.

Strong wage growth continues in 2025 As of February 2025, wages in the UK were growing by approximately 5.9 percent compared with the previous year, with this falling to 5.6 percent if bonus pay is included. When adjusted for inflation, regular pay without bonuses grew by 2.1 percent, with overall pay including bonus pay rising by 1.9 percent. While UK wages have now outpaced inflation for almost two years, there was a long period between 2021 and 2023 when high inflation in the UK was rising faster than wages, one of the leading reasons behind a severe cost of living crisis at the time. UK's gender pay gap falls in 2024 For several years, the difference between average hourly earnings for men and women has been falling, with the UK's gender pay gap dropping to 13.1 percent in 2024, down from 27.5 percent in 1997. When examined by specific industry sectors, however, the discrepancy between male and female earnings can be much starker. In the financial services sector, for example, the gender pay gap was almost 30 percent, with professional, scientific and technical professions also having a relatively high gender pay gap rate of 20 percent.

Average UK household incomes taxes and benefits by household type, tenure status, household characteristics and long-term trends in income inequality.

In the 3 years to March 2021, black households were most likely out of all ethnic groups to have a weekly income of under £600.

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).
