UK remote vs on-site, same category
Half of the roles that state a salary pay more than this and half pay less, so read it as the middle of the market rather than a ceiling or a floor, and remember that only roles which disclose pay count towards it.
Median salary by category
Where pay sits for each kind of work, UK roles in pounds.

Remote versus on-site pay
How the remote median compares with on-site, category by category.
A higher remote median usually means remote hiring in that category is weighted towards senior roles, not that working from home pays extra, so compare the two on the same title and level before you trade location for pay.
Remote On-site
Not enough UK roles list pay for both remote and on-site work yet.

Salaries by category
Live UK roles (remote), median pay and the middle half of what each category pays.
Which field you're in moves the median by more than almost anything else on this page, so if you're weighing two directions, the order here is the first thing to compare; within any one category, half the disclosed salaries still sit above its figure and half below.
| Category | Live roles | Median | Middle half (25th to 75th) | Remote share | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Data Science 14 list pay | 22 | £132,500 | £115k | £137k | 100% | |
| Engineering 22 list pay | 168 | £129,500 | £114k | £150k | 100% | |
| Product Management 6 list pay | 20 | £129,500 | £101k | £144k | 100% | |
| Finance 12 list pay | 33 | £81,000 | £70k | £112k | 100% | |
| Sales 9 list pay | 104 | £78,000 | £55k | £107k | 100% | |
| Healthcare 8 list pay | 35 | £61,000 | £43k | £63k | 100% | |
Medians use only roles that list pay, in the posting's own currency: UK roles in pounds, US roles in dollars. Hourly and monthly pay is shown as a yearly figure. Categories need five roles that list pay.

Salary by job title
Median pay for each title, taken from the adverts themselves, in US dollars.
The middle-half range tells you more than the median: a narrow band means the rate for that title is well settled and there is little room to negotiate, while a wide one means the title covers quite different jobs and the detail of the ad decides what you are offered.
