The given graphs illustrate the data about the most common options of household consumption expenditure and a comparison of how much of British residents’ income is spent on domestic chores and how much is spent individually.
Overall, according to the pie chart, the majority of consumer expenses in the UK (which is 33% of all the last year’s categories), is on housing. Transportation, however, is also in demand and its share is 18%. It is followed by food, personal insurance and pensions, health care and entertainment. The first three is in a 4% step starting from 13% (each one with a smaller one), and the last is 6% respectively. The smaller proportion of equal 3% is divided between savings, apparel, education and reading and the other.
The second diagram, the bar chart one, reveals that among people earning up to 50.000$ (who, incidentally are the biggest part of all those on the chart) the preference goes for individual expenses, making up about 35-36% of Britain’s total income, while household spend is 24-29%, almost a third less overall. Nevertheless, for groups with salary above $50.000 the household items become a more preferred category. And it is notably that the greater income is, the clearer is the difference between individual spending: for example, in a group with a salary from $50.000 to $70.000, the difference is 2%, while in the group with an income of more than $100.000 is is already 11%.
