People, population and community Nowcasting household income in the UK: financial year ending 2017
The provisional estimate of median household disposable income for financial year ending (FYE) 2017 is £27,200, an increase of 1.8% compared with FYE 2016 (£26,700) after accounting for inflation and household composition; this is 5.7% (£1,500) higher than its pre-economic downturn value of £25,700 in FYE 2008.
Median income for retired households continued to increase following the economic downturn and provisional estimates for FYE 2017 suggest it is now £22,400, which is 14.9% higher in real terms than in FYE 2008 (£19,500).
