So much!
I was on 9/7d per hour and about £1000 a year.
And this was 1969, with me being a skilled tradesman.

I remember in 1969/70 I was on about £8 a week, because it gave me £5 a week to give to my mother and the three left covered all my food and fares to work.   Later, when I got my own bedsit, the rent was £4.10s a week and I could walk to work.    I lived for a while on those Vesta boil in the bag curries, remember those?   Yummee.

I saw Vesta curries on sale again only last weeK!  The ones I remember were dehydrated, and often the bits didn't all rehydrate... I was particularly addicted to the prawn curry.  Oh, must nip out and buy one for old times' sake!
