Income Check

Am I Rich? UK Income Percentile Checker

See exactly which percentile your income falls into, based on HMRC's latest UK income data.

⚠️ Estimate for general interest, not a precise measurement. This tool interpolates your income against HMRC's most recently published percentile data (tax year 2023-24) — it doesn't account for household size, region, or your personal circumstances. Cross-check against the source data on gov.uk before drawing any firm conclusions or relying on it for decisions.

How the income percentile checker works

Enter your annual income before tax — from all sources, not just salary — and the tool estimates which percentile you fall into among UK individuals, using HMRC's Survey of Personal Incomes for tax year 2023-24, the latest year published. It works by interpolating your income between HMRC's published percentile points (the 1st, 5th, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th, 95th and 99th, among others) to estimate your position, then compares you to the UK median and shows how far you are from the next milestone.

The underlying dataset only covers individuals with some Income Tax liability — roughly 36.7 million people — so it excludes anyone whose income falls below the tax-free Personal Allowance. Figures at the very bottom and very top of the scale are extrapolated guide anchors rather than official HMRC data points.

Frequently asked questions

What data is this based on?

HMRC's Survey of Personal Incomes, tax year 2023-24 (published April 2026), covering around 36.7 million UK individuals with some Income Tax liability. It measures total income before tax from all sources — employment, self-employment, pensions, rental income, interest and dividends.

How is my percentile calculated?

By interpolating your income between HMRC's published percentile points. Figures below the 1st percentile and above the 99th are extrapolated guide anchors rather than official HMRC data, so they're less precise.

Does this include people who don't pay Income Tax?

No. The underlying dataset only covers people with some Income Tax liability, so it excludes anyone below the tax-free Personal Allowance. This tool's estimate for low incomes is an extrapolation, not an official statistic.

Is this an exact measurement of where I rank?

No — it's an estimate for general interest, using interpolation and the most recently published tax year rather than real time. Cross-check against the source data on gov.uk before drawing firm conclusions.
