The going rate is the lowest salary you can be paid for a job on a Skilled Worker visa. Each occupation code has its own going rate. The figures are yearly, for a 37.5-hour week, so they go up or down if you work more or fewer hours. Most people use the Table 1 rates below.
How going rates work
- Your salary must be at least the going rate for your job and at least the general minimum (usually £41,700). Whichever is higher is the one that counts. See all the minimums.
- Table 1 is for most people. Table 2 has lower rates for some health and care jobs and for people who've held a Skilled Worker visa since before 4 April 2024.
- Rates are never below £17.13 an hour (Table 1) or £12.82 an hour (Table 2).
The exact wording in the Immigration Rules
Going rates in Table 1 are per year and based on a 37.5-hour working week. They must be pro-rated for other working patterns, based on the weekly working hours stated by the applicant’s sponsor. Options A to E refer to the points options set out in Appendix Skilled Worker.
The going rates and associated reductions which apply are whichever is the higher of: • the rate shown by the median ASHE data for that occupation; or • £17.13 per hour
The going rates and associated reductions which apply are whichever is the higher of: • the rate shown by the 25th percentile ASHE data for that occupation; or • £12.82 per hour
The salary must also meet the general threshold for the points option used. Both figures for each code are on its code page and summarised on salary thresholds. Health and education going rates are on health and education rates.
