In the UK, a household is in poverty if its income after tax is below 60% of the national median (a relative measure therefore). Usually, housing costs and housing benefits are deducted from income in order to calculate the poverty rate (source). Income is also adjusted for household size and composition because two people need a larger income than one person to enjoy the same standard of living (however, the adjustment is not simply a multiplication: two people do not need twice as much).
According to this measure, 22% of the UK population lived in poverty in 2009/2010:
The recent recession has had an impact: the real income of the median (pdf) non-retired household was in 2013 6.5% below its 2006-07 level.
In order to put UK poverty into an international perspective, consider this factoid: if income in India were distributed completely equally, the entire Indian nation would still be living on less than half the UK poverty line.
