Inspired by this question.
In the books, we only see prices for various items in Wizard money. But how much do the wizards earn? What is considered a 'rich wizard' or a 'poor wizard' in terms of income? I know that some rich families (eg. The Malfoys) are rich due to accumulated wealth, but I am interested in income figures only.
I thought about this a few months ago, as everybody must earn a living, right?
A popular fan-site produced an article which may be of use.
It doesn't appear that they earn a great deal in short, however there are a few exceptions. Based on the maths from the article, I should think the average would be between £27,000 and £35,000. With a lack of lower earning examples it is hard to form a more accurate conclusion from this.
