To ask His Majesty's Government how many claimants currently receiving Universal Credit
who are in employment or self-employment are earning (1) under £12,570 a year, (2)
between £12,571 and £25,000 a year, (3) between £25,001 and £35,000 a year, (4) between
£35,001 and £50,000 a year, and (5) over £50,000 a year.
<p>Universal Credit is designed to reduce as household earnings increase, so the number
of high income households receiving UC would likely be very small. The level at which
entitlement ends will differ depending on individual circumstances and other unearned
income.</p><p> </p><p>As earnings information is only available at household level
this has been provided below</p><p> </p><p>In January 2023 there were:</p><ul><li>2,610,500
households with no take home pay</li><li>974,000 households with monthly take home
pay between £0 - £1048</li><li>662,500 households with monthly take home pay between
£1048 - £2084</li><li>121,600 households with monthly take home pay between £2084
- £2917</li><li>29,400 households with monthly take home pay between £2917 - £4167</li><li>1,300
households with monthly take home pay greater than £4167.</li></ul><p> </p><p>Notes:</p><ol><li>The
figures provided are monthly equivalents of the annual incomes specified in the question.</li><li>These
figures have been rounded to the nearest 100</li></ol>
