Salary Data FAQs

Where does the data come from?

All salary data was collected in February 2008 on the mysalary.co.uk site.

What information is available?

The results of over 13,000 pieces of job title and salary information.

What other data is available?

Individual results rather than averaged data, geographical data and number of respondents per job title are all available off site. If you are interested in data at a more granular level, please contact us about using the salary data.

Is there any error checking on the data?

The complete list of responses was filtered to remove incorrect and spoilt data. Due to the sheer size of the list there are some misspelt jobs or similar jobs listed under a few different titles, e.g. PA and Personal Assistant. In terms of the validity of the data, information was averaged and any individual result that was more than 25% beyond the average was discarded. Where there were less than five pieces of data for an individual job title the data is presented as is, therefore there is a greater chance of these being misrepresentative.

All data is provided on the site as is and no guarantee of its accuracy should be assumed or is made.

I am a member of the press, can I contact your respondents?

No personal contact information has been stored whatsoever. All information given to us was completely anonymous. However we can provide more granularity with regard location, number of respondents, individual figures provided and so forth. Please contact us about using the salary data.
