OVER HALF OF BRITS ON £80,000-£100,000 A YEAR THINK THEY EARN AVERAGE

Most people in the UK that earn between £80,000 and £100,000 think they earn about an average wage. And more than half of those asked who earn over £40,000 feel normal about their earnings, not fortunate. This is despite them being way over the national average of the UK, with the median household wage after tax sitting at £31,400.

The survey comes at a time when living costs are soaring and inflation rising.
A poll found that people on the upper end of earning were more likely to underestimate their salary compared to the average UK citizen.

Quite a few of those who earn the highest of salaries believed themselves to be worse off compared to their friends and families.

Around 43 per cent of those with incomes of £100,001 to £120,000 considered their social circles to be better off than they are.
Of those surveyed, women were more likely than men to perceive their income to be below average (40 per cent to 33 per cent) and younger people were likelier to see their social circle as better off than they are in comparison to older people.
