Reading the gender pay gap figures

A pay gap is not unequal pay. Paying a woman less than a man for the same work has been unlawful in Britain since 1970. A gap says something different and often more useful: that the better-paid jobs at an employer are held by men and the worse-paid ones by women. That is why the share of women in the best-paid quarter sits beside the headline here — it is usually the sentence the headline is trying to say.

Prefer the median. It is the middle of the pay range, so no single salary can move it, and it is the figure that survives being quoted. The mean is dragged by whoever sits at the top, which makes it noisier but also more revealing about who that is. Both are published, and an employer whose two figures diverge sharply is worth a second look.

One year is not a finding. An employer can have a bad year because it opened a warehouse or closed a head office, and the figure will move without anything about its pay changing. Nine years of the same employer is a different kind of evidence, which is why every company page here shows the whole series rather than the newest number.

What these figures do not cover is most employers. The duty starts at 250 staff, so the data describes large organisations and says nothing about the small ones — where most people in Britain actually work.

Frequently asked questions

What does the gender pay gap figure actually measure?▾
The difference between what men and women are paid on average across an employer, as a percentage of men’s pay. It is not equal pay: paying a woman less than a man for the same job has been unlawful since 1970. A gap usually means the higher-paid jobs are held by men and the lower-paid ones by women, which is why the share of women in the best-paid quarter is shown beside it.
Mean or median — which should I look at?▾
The median, in most cases. It is the middle of the pay range, so one chief executive cannot move it. The mean is pulled by whoever is at the top, which makes it more volatile but also more revealing about who sits there. Both are published and both are shown here.
Which employers have to report?▾
Every UK employer with 250 or more employees on the snapshot date, in the private, public and voluntary sectors, since the 2017 reporting year. That is around eleven thousand employers a year covering a large share of the workforce — but it leaves out every smaller employer, so the figures describe big organisations rather than the country.
Can the gap be negative?▾
Yes, and it is not an error: a negative figure means women are paid more than men at that employer. It happens at several hundred employers each year. Reading it as a missing value, or quietly showing it as zero, would flatter the overall picture.
Why do some employers have no company number here?▾
Because they are not companies. Roughly one employer in seven is an NHS trust, a school, a university or a government department, with no Companies House registration at all. They are kept in the data — how a hospital compares is a fair question — and simply have no company page to link to.
