These figures are an estimate, not personalised financial advice: they are worked out from the BMA, the NHS Employers pay circular, GOV.UK, HMRC and NHSBSA, and updated each April. Always check your payslip. If something here is wrong, we are sorry, and we would like to know: use Spot a mistake and we will check it against the source. See the full methodology and disclaimer. Every figure behind it, each pay point and what the contract pays on top, is on the pay scales page.
