A 2023 UK SAM with households disaggregated by income

This is a 2023 UK Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) where the households have been disaggregated into quintiles based on the households' gross income. This SAM incorporates the latest 2023 input-output tables published by the Office for National Statistics, with the sectors being aggregated into 34 broader sectors. The SAM broadly follows the same aggregation level as previous SAMs we have published, with the difference being that 'Iron/steel' are now isolated, while 'Other basic metals' are aggregated with 'Fabricated metal products'.

The households have been disaggregated using information from the Living Cost and Food survey. This SAM is relevant for projects looking to identify not only the economy-wide impacts of shocks to the UK economy, but also explore how households of different income are impacted. Moreover, it allows the exploration of shocks to specific household quintiles and how these could affect the wider economy.

*On 10/08/26 a modified version of the data was uploaded and the previous version restricted. The dataset contains the same information. The only differences are in how the different sectors have been aggregated: There is no longer a sector on coal extraction. Instead, it is aggregated alongside mining, quarrying and mining support. The previous electrical/electronic manufacturing sector is now disaggregated into two sectors: one for electrical manufacturing and another on electronic manufacturing. The overall number of sectors, 34, remains the same.
