What’s the UK Minimum Wage Yearly Salary in 2025?
The UK minimum wage yearly salary depends on your age and hours worked. As of April 2024, the National Living Wage for workers aged 21+ is £11.44 per hour. Assuming no changes for 2025 (check for updates!), here’s what you’d earn annually based on a full-time 37.5-hour week:
- Aged 21+: £11.44 × 37.5 hours × 52 weeks = £22,308 per year
- Aged 18-20: £8.60 × 37.5 hours × 52 weeks = £16,770 per year
- Aged 16-17: £6.40 × 37.5 hours × 52 weeks = £12,480 per year
