In 2018-19 the 91st %ile (before tax) was £59,100 the 25th %ile was £17,800, the 50th %ile was £25,000.
I’ve always been a bit troubled by these comparisons. Firstly, how many on the £25k and below are either only declaring that amount for tax purposes and are earning a cash-based take home pay without paying tax (there is still a lot of business done “cash in hand”). Also, compared to the individuals up to the 91st percentile how many are getting income augmentation in benefits and allowances?
When you start to scratch into some of these areas then you start to see that some are paying way more into the state than others are getting out, but all have similar amounts of total expenditure to maintain their families.
