UK pay falls across a range of thresholds depending on the national average, roughly £31,285 before tax as of 2021/2022.

People earning below this fall into the “low income” or “absolute low income” categories.

The low-income threshold is less than 60 percent of the average “net disposable equivalised UK household income”.

People living on 60 percent of £31,285 will receive approximately £18,771 every year.
