What is the "national average" wage in the UK?

What is the average wage per year in the UK?

  • I an 19 years old, I have never had paid employment, and I was wondering how much is the average wage per year for the UK? I just want to know because one day I would want to be getting a average wage per year, and I was just wondering what the average wage per year is in the UK?

  • Answer:

    The average UK wage last year (2011) was £26'000 per annum. This figure however will be skewed as it incorporates vastly inflated salaries paid to the top 1% off the population in very high paid jobs. Also the average salary at any one time is affected by local factors, economic demands, and even the cost of living locally. As long as you can pay all your bills and walk away witha few quid each month then you are doing better than most in this country at the moment. My advice now, before you get into the cycle is to stay debt free and just live within your means (mortgage being the one acceptable exception).

last year it was £24,000 but this wont be the case if you're under 24 or a female as males and people who have been in the job longer get higher pay.
