UK spending per person
Spending on services (TES) in 2025-26 was £17,667 per UK resident. That is £1,227,648 million divided by 69,487,000 mid-2025 usual residents, rounded to the nearest pound on this site. It is not a figure the ONS publishes. The resident count is provisional.
The resident count is mid-2025. The spending numerators are financial year 2025-26. Those periods are not the same year. Income-tax payers are a different count and are not used here.
Usually resident mid-year estimates. The UK figure for mid-2025 is provisional and rounded to the nearest 1,000. England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are blank for 2025 in this file. Not the income-tax payer count.
