The threshold already crossed
£75,000 exceeds the £67,400 threshold for the top 10% of UK taxpayer incomes in 2023/24. It remains below the £93,600 top-5% threshold in the HMRC series. The rank is an income comparison, not a verdict on how secure you ought to feel.
What London changes
The 2025 London salary series puts £75,000 between the 75th and 80th percentiles. UK-wide, £75,000 is slightly below the full-time top-10% salary threshold of £76,903. It can exceed the HMRC top-10% income threshold while remaining below the ONS top-10% salary threshold because these are different populations.
One income or two
A household receiving £75,000 from one person is different from two adults each receiving £37,500. The main calculator takes one person’s total income. Use combined net income for the household budget, or combined assets and debts for household wealth.
