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. Your salary is ranked within your ASHE age band (18-21/22-29/30-39/40-49/50-59/60+, Table 6.7a), with an all-ages rank shown too. The all-ages median of £39,039 matches the ONS published figure. Take-home pay uses GOV.UK 2025/26 Income Tax (PAYE) and National Insurance.
