The Consumer Prices Index, a key measure of UK inflation, hit 3% in September - the highest it's been since March 2012. So with living costs shooting upwards we wanted to know if your salary (excluding bonuses and assuming you're in work) has kept up with the rate of inflation. Please vote under the category that reflects your annual salary. If paid hourly, weekly or monthly, work out how much you take home roughly each year (before tax). Have you had a pay rise (or if self-employed awarded yourself one) in the last year?

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
