This interactive dashboard shows how public services spending is distributed across income deciles in the UK. The analysis includes NHS spending, education spending, and transport subsidies (rail and bus), calculated using PolicyEngine's Enhanced FRS microsimulation model.
NHS spending per household remains relatively consistent across income deciles, making it effectively regressive as a share of income.
Education spending is highly concentrated in lower income deciles, reflecting higher household sizes and child populations.
Rail and bus subsidies show varying patterns across income groups, with implications for transport equity policy.
Lower income deciles receive significantly more total public services spending per household, primarily driven by education.
