According to the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), the “median” gross annual earnings in the UK are £20,801. If you are earning that sum a year it means that half the surveyed working population earns less than you and half more.

The BBC analysis of the ASHE survey shows that the top 25% of people have a gross annual salary of £31,759. The top 10% is from £44,881 and a gross annual salary of £58,917 gets you into the top 5%.

Update: 30 September 2020

In 2019, the UK’s median earnings went up by 2.9 per cent, meaning that the average person took home about £585 per week, which works out at around £30,420 a year.
