That is 190 million pounds per week, equivalent to 240.8 million euros. Calculated down to every single Briton, it is 153 pounds per year (around 194 euros) or 42 pence a day (53.2 cents) that go to the EU.
These figures are based on the so-called Pink Book of the National Statistical Office (ONS). If, however, not only the EU's financial contributions to the public sector are included in the calculation, but also those to the British private sector, the annual amount is further reduced.
On the basis of data from the European Commission, the average is 7.1 billion pounds - the equivalent of nine billion euros - which the UK transferred to the EU annually between 2010 and 2014.

Are the people of those countries happy to be net contributors?

However, the British GDP has increased by between 500 and 900 billion annually in the same period due to the benefits of the EU,
this bill is therefore a very stupid one. very untrue and very populist because in order to be able to pay these 1000 billion into the EU, Great britain would have had to be a member of the EU for more than 100 years and would have earned 50,000 billion more in the same time.

Where do you get your bullshit numbers from? 500 and 900 billion annually, would mean an increase in GDP of 20% to 34%.
I'm no longer discussing this with you as you've shown to post magical facts.
