How much do you need to earn to live in these Falkirk postcodes?

The price difference between buying a house in the area’s most desirable areas compared to more affordable areas may surprise some residents.

Living in the FK1 area means you will need to earn an average of £10.11 per hour, which drops to £7.96 per hour in the FK2 postcode.

Each entry on the list represents a postcode and shows how much you’d need to earn per hour, week and year to buy a property there.

It’s based on a single person working a 37.5 hour week and mortgage repayments being 35 per cent of the income.
