National Average Salary

How does this figure compare with the national statistics? Well at the start of 2006, the average salary was estimated to be Ł22,248. So this data shows a close correlation with the average salary of respondents to our salary survey, with on average those visiting and entering their salary data at MySalary earning around Ł1,000 per annum than the national average.

However the costs associated with having a job are significant and estimates suggest that in real terms a worker earns under Ł20,000 a year - the reason for this disparity is composed of three main factors, which are:

food costs: Ł30 per week
Travel costs: Ł50 per month (much higher for lots of us!)
Work clothes: Ł35 per month
