In those days a pound was a fair amount of money. It was about the earnings for an agricultural worker for a week's work. At that time, and attorney generally earned about 650 pounds per year. An income of 1000 pounds per year was necessary to own a carriage, but it should be born in mind that owning a carriage meant keeping horses, at least one worker to tend the horses, a carriage driver, and at least one footman, in addition to maintaining the carriage itself. Mr. Bennet's income was 2000 pounds, Bingley's was 5000, and Darcy's was 10,000 from and estate that was ten miles around.
In Jane Austen's time (late 1700s to early 1800s), the British pound was the currency of the United Kingdom and its value fluctuated depending on factors like inflation and economic conditions. However, a rough estimate would be that 1 pound in Jane Austen's time would be equivalent to around £100-150 in today's money.
