Add your pay — did it keep up?
Enter your salary for any year you remember (you don't need them all). We plot your pay on the chart and show, in pounds, whether it kept pace with this basket. Only years you fill in are used — nothing is guessed. Gross pay, compared against this basket only — not rent, energy or other bills.
