Not relevant at all but perhaps of comparative interest to some: the British average 2023 yearly income is sterling equivalent of $37,000.

You have to add in the costs of health insurance premiums/deductibles/out of pocket maximums to get to a sort of comparable figure.

Easily $400 to $1,200 per person per month depending on age, plus probability of $3k to $7k deductible, plus probability of $5k to $10k out of pocket maximum.

Although, US pay statistics exclude the employer subsidized portion of the health insurance premiums (usually ~70%), but they also exclude the monetary cost of the volatility due to it being tied to your employment.

Also, these costs will be more heavily subsidized by employers for higher paid populations, and less subsidized for low paid populations.
