Frequently Asked Questions

These are basic pay for a full-time salaried post, about eight to nine sessions a week. A sessional or part-time GP is paid pro-rata to their sessions, so the figure scales down. Salary sacrifice, student loan repayments or a different tax code change it too. Open our calculator for a detailed answer.

No. These are salaried GP figures, taxed through PAYE. A GP partner co-owns the practice and takes a share of its profit as a self-employed person, taxed through self-assessment, so partner income is not a salary scale and is not shown here.

The pay range sets a minimum for salaried GPs employed by a practice. The BMA also publishes a recommended range, which can be higher, and many practices pay above the minimum to attract and keep GPs.

Yes. Each UK nation publishes its own salaried GP scale in its own pay circular: England, Scotland and Northern Ireland use a pay range, and Wales a stepped scale, so pay and timing differ.

No. NHS Employers publishes the official salaried GP range, but no NHS or government body runs a calculator. This page is the quick estimate straight from the published range; open our calculator for a detailed answer.
