Is it worth living in Blackpool on £24,000?
Compare take-home pay vs essentials (rent, food, transport, utilities). Use sliders to match your situation — then judge by disposable left + rent pressure.
Housing costs in Blackpool are high (around 44% of income), which will limit your ability to save. You will have some spending money, but big savings goals or frequent travel might be tight. Overall, this salary is likely too low for an independent lifestyle in Blackpool without compromises.
