Ours works out as around £55-60 a month extra after tax, I know it's better than nothing but bills, mortgage , transport etc. Will outweigh it..
Anyone else?

Civil service. Who knows what I’ll get when it gets approved and if the unions agree to it.

there’s no money.

No, mine is a university and they are laying people off left, right and centre. I’m trying to be grateful to have a job but it really is the pits.

3.6% , nhs. Most of it went on tax and pension arrears.

Private sector, haven't had one for two years and unlikely to get one this year.

No. Sadly my company is struggling a bit so I'm just pleased to have a job.

got a 1% rise in January

Fgfgfg · 08/09/2025 16:38

1.4%

RedPony1 · 08/09/2025 16:38

We get pay rises every January, normally 3-5%

SunnyDolly · 08/09/2025 16:37

Ours is always in Jan but this year it was a 1.5% payrise and expecting the same again. Utility increases more than immediately swallowed it up!

Civil service so again, below inflation is expected.
Getting pretty sick of it to be honest.
