Poll: Where do you fit in? (IFS income percentile) (*net incomes only - do it correctly!*)

[Teledude]

Top one percent...contractor and a teacher.

 

[stigggeh]

Calulated for me and my mrs and the outcome was 'higher than 89%' we are not what I would consider high earners either

 

[londonbairn]

OOps, accidentally picked Among the lowest 1% of earners instead of Among the top 1% of earners

 

[Over Clocker]

With a household after tax income of £xxxx per week, you have a higher income than around 99% of the population

 

[Begbie]

86% not bad, obviously that will decrease when I get a place of my own and not subsidised living.

 

[TheOtherOption]

70% - although once I move into my own place it will be different I'm sure!

 

[Hatter The Mad]

Very much top-heavy. I expected it to be weighted in the top half, but didn't expect it to be so concentrated in the top tenth!

 

[anything I don't mind]

What non sense, it says that I am at 88% but i am on a salary that I can barely live off.

What is your salary?

 

[anything I don't mind]

No, i made a mistake, it is 74%.

 

[Perywinkle]

>96% 2 adults, no kids, she earns most of that lol

 

[j_walsh]

you have a higher income than around 83% of the population - equivalent to about 50.3 million individuals.

Cant be right :/

 

[grumpysculler]

51% - pesky wife and children! For me on my own it's 78%

 

[1uke]

Wierd on my own it comes out at 86% but with my Gf's wage and our kid we come out at 76%. So I would be better of on my own..... Hmmmnn

 

[Bennie-Mac]

76% on my own, 63% with my scrounging part time girlfriend included.

 

[RoboCod]

Is everyone doing this correctly - it's income AFTER TAX/NI etc ....If so then not bad going. >80% not so bad

 

[LiE]

83%. Did wrong the first time, didn't realise it was net, not gross.

 

[daz87uk]

Thread is depressing.... 18%

 

[Nitrojan]

30%
