Am I underpaid?
See roughly where your salary sits compared with everyone working full-time in your city or region, and with people in your profession across the UK. It uses official ONS figures for April 2025, and nothing you type leaves your browser.
How it works
The ONS publishes the salaries at the 10th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 75th, 80th and 90th percentiles of full-time pay for each area and occupation. We place your salary between the two nearest published points. Below the 10th or above the 90th percentile, we say so rather than guess.
Location and role are compared separately, because the ONS doesn't publish reliable figures for individual occupations in individual cities. If you're well below the median for your role, it's worth checking adverts for your job, or reading how to ask for a pay rise.
ONS annual pay includes bonuses paid during the year, but not employer pension contributions, equity or benefits. For a full comparison see total compensation in the UK.
