For full-time staff, this takes the headline pay range from £25,272 at Band 2 up to £112,782–£129,783 at Band 9. What you actually take home each month depends on your band, pay step, tax code, pension contribution tier, overtime and any London weighting. Pay steps within each band mean two people in the same band can earn different amounts.
