A [certain number] times larger than...
Hi there. I'm writing out my Russian A-level coursework and have come across something for which I can't find a suitable translation. Here's my sentence in English:
They earn an income (which/that is) six times larger than...
So far I have Они зарабатывают доход, который - ____, чем...
What can I fill in the blank with to express "six times larger"? I don't mind if the sentence has to be rephrased, e.g. to "they earn six times more", but I've scoured my dictionary and online translators without a Russian equivalent that sounds right.
Спасибо! (Actually, while I'm here I may as well ask: how do you say "thanks in advance"?)

"Зарабатывать доход" is wrong.
You can say either:
Он зарабатывает XXX фунтов в месяц (pounds per month).
or:
Его доход (составляет) XXX фунтов в месяц.
The hyphen after "который" is no needed.

six time larger - в шесть раз больше

"Спасибо заранее".
