Ok. So I work in insurance and specifically in working out salaries and benchmarking them. I’m paid 3 times the average London Salary… but, in my line of work in the insurance industry the salary in the 60th percentile is closer to almost 10k a month before tax. Keep in mind that I am in HR which is not even where the decent money is. So yep, finance and insurance is where your bucks are at kids.

Doesn't matter how much you earn, you'll find a way to spend it.

@bensbigjourney 7 ай бұрын

That’s true! I’ve tried to limit myself with my spending as I’ve been guilty of this! When you earn more you feel you can spend more but you should try and limit yourself a bit!

I’m 22 and currently bring home over £3k (pre tax), I’m assuming your age range numbers are all pre tax as well? If so then I am way way ahead of the average.

@bensbigjourney 7 ай бұрын

Yeah all pre tax! That’s good!

@keithchegwin1222 5 ай бұрын

That's good, "take home" usually means after tax by the way. I've noticed the younger generation using it in a different way.

34 and I make 3200 a little more if I work more overtime a month minus tax I come out with 2500,2800 most I got was 3200 after tax.

@Justaleedsthing 7 ай бұрын

I’m below the medium, I’m 26 and earn 1800 a month before tax and 1500 after, but it’s the best paid job I’ve had ( I’m from Yorkshire) but I’m looking to move jobs soon so hopefully be able to find a job that pays extra

Normally moving jobs really helps increase your pay I was on the same amount about a year ago too

All these salaries are terrible. I am apparently in the top 1%, but I don't consider myself rich. Im reluctant to eat out, go on holidays abroad, and do not drive new cars despite earning over £200k per year. However, everybody else is driving new cars and appear to be spending their last penny to go on holiday abroad each year.

No, if you are doing *more* than £2,260 then you are doing more than the average. But this is a fallacy!!! It would equate to £2,260x12=£27,120 a year, which means that ~50% of all PAYE salaries are LESS THAN £27k. This is a VERY worrying statistic. You shouldn't be focused on MORE but how many are earning less, because this figure should be going up as it is extremely low.

Yeah but if you account for the average rent and mortgage council tax while running a vehicle on top of appliances food etc then pay is rubbish especially for the amount of work you have to just to get by. I would say to be able to live comfortably now and save by yourself looking at £4-5k

33 here and earn 60K+ as a lorry driver so I am earning a decent amount in the industry I am in and I am doing okish . Average earning is between 800 to 950 a week after tax as I get paid weekly so I am happy where I am at and the company I work for is not going bankrupt in my lifetime only if people turn and become vegans overnight .

I was really surprised with Leicester, it's a decent city and should have higher averages than that, it's a bit shocking really. What is surprising is how much the salaries haven't really moved in the last 10 years and also there's not really much between the age ranges after 25. The age most men peak financially tends to be in their 40's, but the graph shows they're actually closer to their 25-30 year old counterparts than perhaps they should be.
