The average cost of a lifetime in Britain is almost £1.68million, a new report analysing costs from birth to death claims today.

最新的研究报告称，从出生到死亡，英国人的一生平均花费将接近168万英镑。

A typical British person's lifetime will cost them £1,675,399 to be precise, according to research by Atom Bank, which is £32,000 more than the average worker would earn in total over their career.

根据Atom银行的研究，普通英国人一生将花费167.5399万英镑，这比普通工人职业生涯的总收入还要多出3.2万英镑。

 

The average lifetime spend calculations werebased on an average UK life expectancy of 81 years, Atom Bank said. 

Atom银行表示，一生平均花费的计算是基于英国人81岁的平均预期寿命。

 

The most expensive contributors to the cost of the average life are buying a home, raising children and holidays.

造成平均花费高的最主要的因素是买房、抚养子女和度假。

 

买房

In the past 50 years,house prices have surged 5,704 per cent. This year, the average house costs £299,000, which is over eight times the average salary of £34,963, and up £32,258 from 2021 data, Atom Bank said. 过去 50 年间，房价飙升了5704%。Atom Bank表示，今年，平均房价为29.9万英镑，是平均工资34,963英镑的8倍多，比2021年的数据增加了32,258英镑。

抚养子女

Raising a child costs around £287,570 per child for a lifetime, according to the research. This is up £118,411 from 2021, highlighting the impact of inflation.研究显示，抚养一个孩子一生的花费约为287,570英镑。这比2021年增加了118,411英镑，凸显了通货膨胀的影响。

度假

According to the research, holidays comprise £198,093 of our lifetime spend. Britons, the data suggests, will spend an additional £90,876 more on holidays in their lifetime than when the figures were last calculated in 2021.除此之外，假期占我们一生花费的 198,093 英镑。数据显示，英国人一生在假期上的花费将比 2021 年最后一次计算数字时增加 90,876 英镑。

礼物

The research claims Britons will spend around £140,533 in their lifetime on birthday presents and Christmas. However, many people have reported spending much less on gifts in recent years as they struggled with rising bills.

研究称，英国人一生中将花费约 140,533 英镑购买生日礼物和圣诞节礼物。然而，许多人表示，近年来，由于物价不断上涨，他们在礼物上的花费大大减少。

交通

Based on recent data, Britons will spend around £101,990 on transport in their lifetime.But the rise in hybrid working and working from home means lifetime spending on transport is likely to be £36,658 less than would have been the case in 2021.

根据最近的数据，英国人一生在交通上的花费约为 101,990 英镑。但是，混合工作制和在家办公的兴起意味着一生中的交通支出可能会比2021年减少36,658英镑。

宠物

The cost of owning a pet has risen seismically in recent years. Atom Bank claims the average person will spend £54,608 on their dogs and £33,300 on their cats throughout their life.This means if an individual has a cat and a dog, their lifetime spend on pets could be around £87,908.

近年来，饲养宠物的成本急剧上升。Atom银行声称，平均每个人一生在狗身上的花费为 54,608 英镑，在猫身上的花费为 33,300 英镑。这意味着，如果一个人养了一只猫和一只狗，那么他一生在宠物身上的花费将达到约 87908 英镑。
