Median full-time pay

Median gross yearly pay for full-time workers who live in the area, from the ONS earnings survey.

Where it covers

Northern Ireland earnings are published separately by NISRA.

13 councils have no figure for 2025. The map hatches each one and gives the reason.

Northern Ireland earnings are published separately by NISRA. Antrim and Newtownabbey, Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon, Belfast, Causeway Coast and Glens, Derry City and Strabane, Fermanagh and Omagh and 5 more
ONS suppresses this figure as statistically unreliable. Isles of Scilly, City of London

Open Index shows the figures as Office for National Statistics publishes them, for the areas they were published for: councils.

Larger areas use the publisher’s own figures, never an average of smaller areas.

Zoom in past council level and the map keeps the council shapes and says so, rather than inventing detail.

This is pay for people who live in the council area, wherever they work. Pay by place of work is a different measure.
Pay is measured in April each year. The latest year is provisional and is revised the following October.
It comes from a sample survey, so small councils have wide margins of error. ONS suppresses figures it judges unreliable.
Barnsley and Sheffield figures are for their boundaries before April 2025.

Fixed breaks, held for every period, so colours mean the same over time.
