Income tracker
Our Income Tracker offers a clear guide to how much the average UK household has to spend on relaxing and having fun.
Updated monthly, the Tracker considers income, tax and all basic spending; giving both ASDA colleagues and customers a greater understanding of the key costs regular families face.
