UK benchmark

- ONS, Family spending in the UK (Living Costs and Food Survey)
- Data describes
- UK total: FYE 2025. Regions: FYE 2023 to FYE 2025 (ONS 3-year average)

- OGL v3.0
Worth knowing: Average (mean) household spend, not a median and not a percentile spread — household spending is right-skewed, so the mean sits above what a typical household spends. ONS publishes regional expenditure only as a three-year average, so the regional figures cover FYE 2023 to FYE 2025 while the UK total is FYE 2025. It is spend per HOUSEHOLD, not per person, and ONS publishes no breakdown by age.
