Pensioners: Income

Asked by Neil Duncan-JordanLabourDepartment for Work and PensionsTabled Answered 11 October 2024UIN 5720

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, for the number of pensioners with an annual income of between £15,000 and £20,000.

Answered by Emma Reynolds

We estimate that the number of pensioner units with an annual income of between £15,000 and £20,000 is approximately 1.5 million. This number has been rounded to the nearest 100,000.

This estimate is based on Pensioners’ Incomes data derived from the Family Resources Survey and covers private households in the United Kingdom.

A pensioner unit can be a single pensioner over State Pension age, a pensioner couple where one member is over State Pension age, or a pensioner couple where both members are over State Pension age.
