How Many Hours do You Work to Afford Christmas?
We not only spend months shopping and preparing for Christmas—most of us also spend months paying for it. Whether you work full time or have a part-time job just for Christmas, how many hours do we actually work to pay for all the gifts, food, drink and decorations we buy for friends and family? It varies drastically depending on where you work. We've calculated how long you'll have to work to pay for Christmas for areas small and large around the UK.
Average Hours Worked in UK to Afford Christmas
On average, each adult in the UK has to work 33.4 hours to cover the £452 they spend at Christmas each year. We calculated that the average UK employee earns £16.72 an hour pre tax, or £13.56 an hour after income tax and national insurance. Dividing £452 of Christmas spending by £13.56 after-tax pay per hour means the average worker clocks 33.4 hours of work to pay for Christmas.
| How long do we spend working to pay for Christmas? | |
|---|---|
| Average hourly wage (pre tax) | £16.72 |
| Average hourly wage (post tax) | £13.56 |
| Average Christmas spend per adult | £452 |
| Average time spent working to pay for Christmas | 33.4 hours |
However, the number of hours we have to work varies drastically depending on which city, town or region you job is based.
Regional Differences
With the advent of massive online retailers like Amazon and national grocery chains, the majority of Christmas expenses—from food to drinks to gifts—cost the same around the country. For example, it costs the same to buy a turkey and bottle of Prosecco from Tesco in London as it does in York. Same goes for gifts ordered online—and you can even by your Christmas tree online! That means that people in some areas have to work a lot more to buy the same Christmas experience. What's the real difference in hours worked?
Not surprisingly, those in London earn the highest wages and therefore work the least to pay for Christmas. However, the average London worker still has to work 27.7 hours to buy Christmas gifts and pay for other holiday expenses, which is 17% less than the UK average. Those in the East Midlands, Yorkshire and the Humber and the North East all work at least 36 hours to afford the same Christmas.

Which Cities and Towns Work the Most and Least for Christmas?
Digging deeper into the data, we found the 10 local areas where workers have to labour for the fewest and most hours to make Christmas special. London boroughs dominated the top 15, with Kensington & Chelsea residents needing to work for just 16.4 hours to afford Christmas.
However, there were a number of other areas outside of London where people also have to work significantly less than their UK peers to pay for their Christmas experience. In particular, those with jobs in St Albans, Hertfordshire work just 21 hours to earn the average £452 contribution to their family's Christmas budget. Other out-of-London localities in the top 15 include Elmbridge, Winchester, South Bucks, Brentwood and Waverly. Tower Hamlets in London rounds out the top 15 with workers working 25.3 hours for Christmas.

In contrast, those working in Boston have to work the most hours if they want the same Christmas experience, which costs £452 per adult on average: 44.5 hours, which is 33.5% more than the UK average of 33.4 hours. Not far behind are Kingston upon Hull, Leicester, Mansfield and Blaenau Gwent—workers in these areas would spend over 42 hours on average working to pay for an average amount of Christmas spending.

Methodology
To find the number of hours worked to afford Christmas, we divided the average Christmas spend per adult (£452) by the average after-tax hourly wage in areas around the UK. To find the average after-tax hourly wage we analysed data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on average hourly wages and average number of hours worked per week by place of work in areas around the UK. Using these values (and assuming adults work 50 weeks a year) we first calculated annual pre-tax income. Then to find out how much an adult typically takes home, we used an income tax calculator to calculate income tax and national insurance and determine the take-home pay for each given annual income. Then we divided this annual take-home pay number by the average hours worked in each area to arrive at an average after-tax hourly wage number for each area.
In reality people working in areas with lower wages will likely spend less than average on Christmas, and vice versa. This study shows how many hours the average worker would have to log if they wanted the average Christmas experience.
Note: while each adult spends around £450, each household spends around £800 on average on Christmas. While we often prefer to talk about household spending, for the purposes of this article it seemed more suitable to talk in terms of spending per adult—since we wanted a sense of how many hours each adult would need to work to earn their share.
