Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many households on Universal Credit have a combined income between £831 and £861 a month after tax and national insurance contributions, broken down by those who are (a) employed and (b) self-employed.

Of the 6.9 million households on Universal Credit in the most recent month for which official statistics are available (August 2025), around 40,000 households had an income of between £831 and £861 from employment and/or self-employment.

Around 7,000 of these households had at least one claimant who was self-employed and around 33,000 did not have a claimant who was self-employed.
