Show me the money!

Note - the figures in question 3 are _gross_ income, before tax.
Also - if you earn more than £49k then tick the £49k box.
[Poll #1429637]

Those figures are the income percentiles for the fully employed UK workers, which you can get from here. If you're in the second group (£312 a week) then at least 10% of the population earn less than you, if you're in the third group then at least 20% of the population earns less than you. If you're in the first group then your life sucks.
Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] red_phil for the link.

The top decile starts at 90% and goes up from there. How else would it work?

I think what [livejournal.com profile] wildeabandon means is that your poll contains no option which could sensibly be ticked by somebody who has an income of more than £946.80/week – you've got the "less than or equal to £946.80" option, followed immediately by the "no income in that sense".

eta: oh, now I see the comment where that's already been clarified, sorry.
