Disposable Income
(asked on 13th March 2015) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the level of disposable income of each (a) age group and (b) income group in (i) the UK, (ii) Scotland, (iii) England, (iv) Wales and (v) Northern Ireland was in each of the last five years up to the most recent period for which records are available.
Annual estimates by country of median and mean disposable equivalised household income by age group (i.e. for children, working age adults and pensioners) on a three-year average basis are available from the latest Households Below Average Income publication.
These different age groups can be found in tables 2.6ts (for children); 2.7ts (for working age adults); 2.8ts (for pensioners). These can be accessed via the ‘Supporting data tables’ link in here:
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/households-below-average-income-hbai-199495-to-201213
Estimates of median disposable income of quintile income group by country are not available in the Households Below Average Income publication and therefore are presented in the tables below.

Notes
1. Estimates for Government regions are presented as three year rolling averages. This is to ensure that the sample size is sufficient to produce robust estimates. Figures have been rounded to the nearest £.
2. All estimates are based on survey data and are therefore subject to a degree of uncertainty. Small differences should be treated with caution as these will be affected by sampling error and variability in non-response.
