UK Salary Data · London 2025

What UK roles actually pay, and what stands between you and the offer

You’re here because you’re job hunting or about to start. Knowing the number is one thing. Getting offered it is another. Every figure below comes straight from the ONS, no Glassdoor self-reporting or LinkedIn estimates. Pick a role to see the full breakdown plus what your application actually has to clear.

London salary data, by role (27 roles)

Median annual gross pay, 2025 provisional release. Click any role for the full breakdown — mean, YoY change, gender pay gap, full-time vs part-time, source citation, and how to clear the ATS, recruiter, and hiring manager for that role.

The number is step one. Getting the offer is step two.

Every UK job has three gates between you and the offer:

  • The ATS screens against the keywords the recruiter wrote into the job ad. If your CV doesn’t mirror them, you’re filtered out before a human sees it.
  • The recruiter scans the top third of your CV for about 7 seconds. If your most relevant evidence isn’t there, you’re dropped.
  • The hiring manager asks why you, what you’d do in the first 90 days, and how you map to their team. If your cover letter and interview brief don’t answer those, you’re a no.

TAILOR optimises your whole application against each specific job ad. One click on a posting, one analysis, six tailored documents that clear all three gates, maximising your position and putting you in front of the hiring manager. The one who actually decides.

Source and methodology

All figures from the ONS Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), Table 15 — region by occupation by 4-digit SOC. 2025 provisional, released October 2025. Pay reference period: April 2025 (pay reference period).

ASHE is based on a 1% sample of HMRC PAYE records. We use median rather than mean as the headline figure because mean is dragged up by very high earners and over-represents what a typical "person at this role earns". ONS suppresses figures it judges too imprecise to publish (you’ll see — on the individual role pages where that happens).

More regions coming: this is the London pilot. Once Google indexes the cluster cleanly, we’ll publish the same data for the other 11 UK regions (North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East, South East, South West, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland).
