But, using the Government's own Labour Force Survey, Migrationwatch says this calculation fails to show the full picture.
To make a positive contribution to GDP over the course of a person's lifetime, they must earn £27,000 a year.
This is the equivalent of paying £7,600 a year in income tax and other taxation, and would cover the costs of healthcare and other public services into retirement.
