What this measures
Median gross annual pay for full-time employee jobs held by women living in the area, from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (Table 8.7a, "Female Full-Time" sheet), reference April of the year shown.
What this doesn’t measure
The official gender pay gap, which the ONS measures on hourly pay to control for hours worked: annual medians reflect both pay rates and hours. It is pay for one job, before tax, excluding the self-employed and part-time employees.
Important caveat
The Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings samples 1% of employee jobs from HMRC PAYE records, with the reference period the pay week or month including a date in April. Figures are for employee jobs held by residents of the area and exclude the self-employed. ONS colour-codes each estimate's quality by its coefficient of variation; estimates for small authorities can carry a coefficient of variation above 10% and should be read as a range, and suppressed cells ("x") are omitted here rather than filled. Provisional figures are revised when the following year's survey is published.
