How we compute your UK salary rank
We use the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) 2025 — the official percentile distribution of full-time gross annual pay — to pinpoint where your salary lands among UK full-time employees. The median of £39,039 matches the ONS published figure. Take-home pay uses GOV.UK 2025/26 Income Tax (PAYE) and National Insurance.
Sources and reliability
All data is sourced from official UK government bodies: ONS Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) 2025 (full-time gross annual pay percentiles, via Nomis), GOV.UK Income Tax rates and allowances 2025/26, and GOV.UK National Insurance (Class 1) 2025/26. No proprietary adjustments — only official statistics. Percentiles are against all UK full-time employees (not age-adjusted); take-home uses the standard England, Wales and Northern Ireland bands.
