Details

This report examines how much income pensioners get each week and where they get that income from. It looks at how their incomes have changed over time and variations in income between different types of pensioners.

We’ve also published data tables in open document spreadsheet (ODS) format and a background information and methodology report.

Data on Stat-Xplore

UK-level Pensioners’ Incomes (PI) Series data is available from 1994/95 to 2018/19 on the Stat-Xplore online tool. You can use Stat-Xplore to create your own PI analysis. The PI information is available at family (benefit unit) level.

Note that regional and ethnicity analysis are not available on Stat-Xplore because multiple-year averages cannot currently be produced. This information is available in the PI data tables published on this page.

Read the user guide to PI data on Stat-Xplore.
