By paying the real Living Wage, employers are voluntarily taking a stand to ensure their employees can earn a wage which is enough to live on. 


As well as it being the right thing to do, there is a growing body of evidence demonstrating the business benefits of becoming a Living Wage employer.


The Living Wage rates are independently calculated based on the real cost of living in the UK and London.
 

The new rates for 2023/24 are:

• £12 per hour UK rate; and
• £13.15 London rate.
