Brexit has cost the UK economy £2,300–£2,500 per person yearly

UK economic output per person is now 6–8% lower than it would have been had Britain remained in the EU, according to June 2026 analysis. That shortfall amounts to roughly £2,300–£2,500 per person each year. The main culprits: extra red tape on trade and the loss of access to European financial markets. This gap is now built into how the UK plans its economy.
