Rich-o-meter
Has anyone else seen this.

I don't think it can be right. It ranks me in the top 22% in the UK.
Don't think so.

Seriously screwed. I entered 1 (one), and the answer was the 50.86th percentile

Re: Rich-o-meter
Is that income before or after tax?

I think it's a bit optimistic... although I wish it was true. Best not let my boss see this, or else I can say bye-bye to a pay rise this year

Re: Rich-o-meter
What it doesn't take into account is that in many countries the equivalent of £200 a year is a very good wage.
My gf found a job for her and myself paying £1100 a month combined in SA, however, over there, that's a heck of a lot of money.

Re: Rich-o-meter
It is obviously Tony B's new way of making us all feel better off 
According to this site, in 2002 Judges, solicitors, and lawyers earned 51k pa - not the ones I know, don't! They earn (on average) a damn sight more.

If I earn a tenner a year it puts me as in the top 50%
Somehow, I don't think there's a single person in the UK getting less than that..

Re: Rich-o-meter
8k shows as top 42%
45k shows as top 3%
22k the apperent uk average (or close to that cant remember) is top 18%
the site isnt accurate but I think its more accurate then the government figures.

http://www.channel4.com/4money/funny...meter/how.html explains all:
"To make the figures as accurate as possible we assume that there are 29,4 million people with no income in the UK (children, pensioners, etc)"
Please don't shoot the messenger

Re: Rich-o-meter
£101,801 seems to be the cut off point ---there are more 300,000 people on that or more.
