What United Kingdom counts as pay, and over what period

  1. Office for National Statistics publishes Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings, Table 14 for 2025 PROVISIONAL.
  2. 1% sample of PAYE records, full-time employees
  3. Rows are used exactly as released. Where the agency suppressed an estimate for sample-size reasons, the cell stays empty rather than being filled with a near-enough figure.
  4. Every wage on these pages is also read a second way — converted at the exchange rate and adjusted for the United Kingdom's own price level — because a GBP figure means nothing to a reader outside the United Kingdom until it is.
annual (GBP) = as published by GBR
adjusted (US$)  = annual / PPP(GBR)
