In the UK, only 28% of high-income households surveyed in 2025 said they agree their taxes should go towards solving global problems – a huge drop from 41% in 2024. Low-income UK households (earning £14,999 per year or less) polled in the opposite direction and were actually more likely to agree than last year, while those on medium incomes (between £15,000 and £44,999) have stayed the same.
They (ONS) define disposable income as “the amount of money households have available for spending and saving after direct taxes have been accounted for. It includes earnings from employment, private pensions and investments, as well as cash benefits provided by the state”, so not exactly post-tax income, but £36.7k corresponds to about £48k gross. I completely agree that a couple earning min. wage should not be classed as high income in the UK, but I usually overestimate how much income a typical Brit actually has.
