Important information

Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may be subject to future change.

Want to know what the highest-paying jobs in the UK are? We list them here including roles you don’t need a degree for.

The number of job vacancies in the UK has fallen by almost 300,00 since the record high seen in May 2022, according to the latest official figures. Despite the drop there are still around 1 million jobs being advertised.

Logistics, legal and retail saw the biggest increases in vacancies in July, while teaching and IT are the largest recruiters, according to the latest data from employment website Adzuna.

In this article, we cover:

What are the highest-paying jobs in the UK?

Chief executive and senior-level roles are perhaps unsurprisingly the highest-paid jobs in the UK, according to analysis of official ONS data by SavetheStudent .

Marketing, sales and advertising directors, doctors, headteachers and airline pilots also come in the top 10.

It is very difficult however to definitively determine what the highest-paid jobs are. There can be a lot of variation between roles depending on your experience, individual companies, and location.

For example, a teacher in London can expect to be paid up to £42,624 a year, according to the Department of Education. The same teacher in the rest of England and Wales would receive up to £36,961.

The average solicitor’s salary in the UK is £55,200 a year. This does not include bonuses or profit-sharing schemes, according to Jobted. A newly qualified solicitor can expect an average salary of £35,000 per year.

What are the highest-paying companies in the UK?

Technology and finance firms make up the majority of the highest-paying companies in the UK, according to Glassdoor.

The top 10 companies hand out an average base salary of over £93,000 to staff. This places their average employee in the top 4% of UK taxpayers:

• Citadel – financial services company (£121,759)
• Contino – business management consultant (£108,128)

• Bank of America Merill Lynch (£94,393)
• MongoDB – developer data platform (£93,993)
• Pegasystems – software company (£93,844)

What are the best companies to work for in the UK?

The highest-paying roles aren’t necessarily the roles with the highest satisfaction scores.

The best companies to work take into account work-life balance, a good team and culture, great pay. They also have perks, strong leadership and good career growth.

Jobsite Glassdoor ranks tech companies in its top 50 list with Apple, Microsoft and Google all making the cut. Management consultancy firms do even better. Bain and Company come top and Boston Consulting Group is third.

Based on the five criteria above, Glassdoor ranked the following as the best companies to work for in the UK:

• Bain & Company 
• ServiceNow 
• Boston Consulting Group 
• Equinix 
• Ocado Technology 
• Mastercard 
• Google 
• Salesforce 
• Version 1 
• Imagination Technologies
• Johnson & Johnson
• Capgemini Invent

University is not the only route to a good job but many positions do require one. Competition is fierce once you get out into the real world of work so it is important to do your research when choosing a degree. 

There are over 65,000 university courses on offer. The subject area which offers the highest employment rates for graduates is medicine and dentistry, according to the Higher Education Statistics Agency.

Over 99% of people can expect to be employed in this sector within six months of graduating, commanding a salary for medicine and dentistry is around £30,000 per year. 

Veterinary science comes second with almost 96% of graduates finding employment within six months of graduation, commanding a £30,500 wage.

Over 90% of graduates in allied medicine subjects (such as pharmacy and physiotherapy), education and architecture also found work within six months of leaving university.

University degrees don’t come cheap but many companies offer lucrative graduate training schemes and graduate positions with a view to developing their next generation of leaders.

So if you are looking for an immediate return on your university investment, these are the best-paid graduate jobs according to graduate career resource website, Milkround:

• Management Consultant £47,500
• Investment Banker £40,000
• Trainee Solicitor £26,500 – £50,000
• Graduate Sales Manager Retail £37-44,000
• Graduate Area Manager £38,000
• Petroleum Engineer £35,000 
• Actuary £35,000
• Vet £32,000
• Clinical Scientist £32,000
• Software Developer £32,000

Note that salaries will vary between organisations and location. Graduate roles are likely to be better paid in London than the rest of the UK.

What high-paying jobs don’t need degrees?

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need a degree to get a high paying job. A third of graduates earn less than those who go straight into the job market, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

In fact many of the most famous and richest CEOs in the world, such as Richard Branson, Alan Sugar, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, never graduated from university. 

You also don’t need a degree to be a train or tram driver, positions that also feature in the top highest-paying jobs in the UK.

While a degree may help, in many industries, experience and knowledge is equally valuable. Although you may need to carry out continuing career development courses.

Personal trainers (salary of up to £60,000), estate agents (£49,000), nutrition consultants (£44,000) and recruitment consultants (£30,000) are the top paying jobs that you don’t need a degree for, according to data from FutureFit:

• Computer games tester: average salary – £31,090, highest salary – £40,000

Which jobs will receive the biggest pay rises in 2023?

The jobs that are likely to receive the biggest boosts to workers’ pay packets this year, according to recruiter Hays, are those where there is a significant skills shortage. 

Increased demand for cyber security experts, electrical engineers, construction workers and sustainability managers, is likely to push up wages for these roles.

IT and cyber security managers can expect to receive some of the biggest wages (£81,500 a year) in 2023 as the world becomes increasingly digitised. 

The most sought-after employees however are expected to be electrical (£48,875) and automation engineers (£48,000) which have the biggest number of shortages according to the government. 

Quantity surveyor (£55,250), qualified social worker ( £31,583 – two years experience) and part-qualified/newly qualified accountant (£31,396) also feature in the most in-demand jobs list of 2023.

UK minimum wage changes in 2023

From April 1 2023, a number of minimum wage rises came into effect.

Britain to raise minimum wage by 9.8% to 11.44 pounds an hour

LONDON, Nov 21 (Reuters) - Britain's minimum wage will increase by 9.8% to 11.44 pounds ($14.26) an hour from April 2024, making it one of the highest as a share of average earnings of any advanced economy.

Finance minister Jeremy Hunt announced the increase on the eve of delivering a mid-year budget update which is expected to reduce taxation and put greater requirements on those out of work to seek employment or face losing benefits.

Last month Hunt told the annual conference of his Conservative Party that he intended to increase the minimum wage to at least 11 pounds an hour, part of a goal to raise it to two thirds of average earnings.

"The National Living Wage has helped halve the number of people on low pay since 2010," Hunt said on Tuesday.

The big rise in the minimum wage comes as the Bank of England warns that the current pace of wage growth in the broader economy - which reached around 8% earlier this year - would make it hard to return inflation to its 2% target.

In 2022, the OECD estimated Britain's minimum wage was equivalent to 58% of full-time earnings, the third-highest in western Europe after Portugal and France.

Around 2.7 million workers will benefit directly from the increases, the government said.

As part of the changes, workers aged 21 and 22 will be entitled to the full minimum wage for the first time, while lower rates paid to workers aged 18 to 20 and apprentices will also increase.

The Low Pay Commission, an expert panel which advises the government on minimum wage increases, said the arguments around the upcoming increase were "finely balanced".

"As last year, businesses felt pressured to pass National Living Wage increases onto consumers. More are worried this year that they are reaching a limit in what they can pass through without undermining demand," it said.

Social care and childcare employers would find it especially hard, it added.

National living wage to rise by almost 10% to £11.44 an hour

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt says earnings of full-time workers will rise by £1,800 a year next spring as a the result of move

Nearly 3 million low-paid workers will receive a pay increase of almost 10% next spring after the chancellor announced an increase in the national living wage to £11.44 an hour.

Jeremy Hunt said the earnings of full-time workers would rise by £1,800 a year as a result of a move that the Low Pay Commission (LPC) said met the 2019 Conservative pledge to end poverty pay in the UK.

The chancellor accepted in full the recommendation of the LPC – the body set up to advise ministers on the level of the national legal minimum wage – by announcing the largest ever cash increase in the low pay floor.

The increase from £10.42 to £11.44 comes against a backdrop of a cost of living crisis in which inflation peaked at 11.1% – the highest in 40 years.

Eligibility for the national living wage (NLW) will also be extended by reducing the age threshold from 23 to 21.

According to the Treasury, a 21-year-old will get a 12.4% increase, from £10.18 this year to £11.44 next year, worth almost £2,300 a year for a full-time worker.

National minimum wage rates for younger workers will also increase, with those aged between 18 and 20 getting a wage boost to £8.60 an hour – a £1.11 hourly pay rise.

The chancellor said: “Next April all full-time workers on the national living wage will get a pay rise of over £1,800 a year. That will end low pay in this country, delivering on our manifesto promise.

“The national living wage has helped halve the number of people on low pay since 2010, making sure work always pays.”

The NLW was introduced in 2016 and currently sets the minimum hourly pay for those over 23.

The Treasury said the new rate will now apply to 21- and 22-year-olds, and meant the government had met its target of lifting the NLW to two-thirds of median earnings by 2024. The Department for Business and Trade estimates 2.7 million workers will directly benefit from the increase.

Bryan Sanderson, the chair of the Low Pay Commission, said: “The national living wage has delivered an improved standard of living to thousands of people who care for our children and elderly, work in farms and shops and at many other essential jobs.

“These efforts over the lifetime of the NLW mean over £9,000 per annum more to a full-time worker without any increase in unemployment.

“This hasn’t been easy for employers, with the economy facing a range of unprecedented challenges in recent years.

“The high degree of political and economic uncertainty has made assessing and forecasting the performance of the economy, and therefore our task, very difficult. It is a tribute to my fellow commissioners that we have continued to achieve consensus.”

TUC general secretary Paul Nowak welcomed the increase, saying: “Today’s much-needed rise to the minimum wage shows the enduring impact of having representatives of business and unions on the Low Pay Commission, which recommends the rate.

“This ensures that worker and employer interests as well as the wider economy and labour market are considered. It is a template for better policymaking.”

However, Nowak called for an uplift to £15 “as soon as possible”, saying most pay packets had fallen in real terms over the last decade by failing to keep up with inflation.
