Evidence: Supports 2025 provisional median gross weekly pay for full-time employees working in each UK region.
Median pay is the middle employee value and does not represent an average. Workplace analysis assigns earnings to the employee's work region.
The ranking uses the 2025 Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings workplace analysis for full-time employees and sorts regional median gross weekly pay from highest to lowest.
All rows use the same ONS earnings source, provisional year, full-time population and weekly-pay unit.
