Every profit figure here is the one the institution filed.

The chart splits each institution's income into £100: what goes on people, on interest and on everything else, and what is left as profit.

Out of every £100 of income

Payroll (staff costs)Other running costsSurplusLoss: the costs beyond £100

Each bar is £100 of that institution's own income, so institutions of any size compare on one scale; the figures are pounds out of each £100, not millions. Institutions run from the best margin to the worst. Payroll is staff costs, other running costs are everything else, and profit is surplus, filed or estimated as marked in the table. A loss is not an extra cost: it is the part of the costs that runs past the £100 line, marked with a red bracket. Hover over any segment for its figure.
