Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many households in receipt of Universal Credit have a total gross household income, including earnings and other income, within each of the following bands: (a) £0–£20,000; (b) £20,001–£40,000; (c) £40,001–£60,000; (d) £60,001–£80,000; (e) £80,001–£100,000; (f) £100,001–£120,000; (g) £120,001–£140,000; and (h) £140,000+.

We do not routinely produce information on the distribution of households in receipt of Universal Credit by gross household income. However, the relevant data is publicly available in the Households Below Average Income datasets on DWP Stat-Xplore, https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/.
