These data tables estimate the average basic pay, total earnings and paybill cost of employing small sections of hospital and community health sector workforce in England. This includes staff working for NHS trusts, NHS foundation trusts, integrated care boards (formerly clinical commissioning groups) and central and support organisations.

The data provides estimates for granular sections of the workforce covering:

• staff group or medical grade
• Agenda for Change (AfC) band or medical contract
• AfC pay point or medical pay threshold

The estimates provided include:

• basic pay per full time equivalent (FTE)
• total earnings (basic pay plus additional earnings)
• paybill (total earnings plus employer on-costs)
• estimates of the relationship between basic pay, total earnings and paybill

Estimates are provided based on the pay scales that were in operation in 2022 to 2023 and 2023 to 2024.

A more detailed description of the methodology that has been used and guidance on how to use these estimates is also provided.
