 Yet another "how well off are you" calculator - Crankcase
I'm not actually sure this is useful, in any sense, not least of which it's unlikely anyone is going to want to give what the figures show on here, but maybe it's interesting in a way.

Might make you think. Might make you think "so what, how obvious is that" actually.

Anyway, here it is.

Interesting! Mine, as a pensioner, is less than half the UK average, but slightly above the world average.

How well off you are depends a lot more than on your income, debt and savings also come into the mix.

disposable income is the name of the game. I was above the Uk average when working, now below the UK average when retired. I am just as "well off" tho.

I'm sure my income, which I never calculate, is below the national average. Yet I live in what many would take for luxury and certainly in great comfort and so on. As well as being incomprehensible, it's a bit frightening.

Less than 30odd thousand in benefits is considered to be poverty in the UK. We all live in fantasy land.
