In the United Kingdom, wage growth refers to changes in average weekly earnings, before tax and other deductions and including bonuses.
Latest Updates
Total average weekly earnings in the UK which includes bonuses rose 5.6% year-on-year to GBP 716 per week in the three months to February 2025, the same as a downwardly revised 5.6% in the previous period and slightly below forecasts of 5.7%. Wage growth eased in the private sector (5.6% vs 5.8%) but accelerated in the public sector (5.7%, the highest since the three months to May vs 5.2%). This follows the public sector pay rises now coming through in the 3-month growth rate. Adjusted for inflation, total earnings grew by 1.9%, the same as in the previous period.
