I found it on this site, but can't find one for the UK.

I'm not sure how accurate it is. I entered my pre-tax income, but possibly that's wrong. I assume it meant before income from investments, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to enter that.

“GiveDirectly recently launched a $19M project in the Kiryandongo refugee settlement in Uganda, saturating the entire settlement with cash transfers. 10,000 refugee households and 5,000 host community households will receive transfers. The project is the first-ever randomized evaluation of large cash transfers in a refugee context.”
