Whatever Jeremy Hunt thinks, £100k is by any measure a high income: Median salary is estimated to be just above £35,000 and anything higher than £81 ...
theguardian.com/money/2024/mar/24/despite-what-jeremy-hunt-thinks-high-income-salary
Quick Glance: Jeremy Hunt's View on £100k Income & Financial Realities
- Jeremy Hunt's perception of £100,000 as a high income contrasts with the national median of £35,000, placing it significantly above average.
- Even in affluent areas like Godalming and Ash, where Hunt is campaigning, the median income of £56,606 shifts the perspective on six-figure salaries.
- Hunt's remarks were deemed inappropriate by experts as data shows many households are struggling due to living costs, including those in higher income brackets.
- New tax and benefit regulations for higher incomes could lead to unexpected financial burdens, as the offer of free childcare for parents earning over £100,000 is limited.
