The wage and salary distribution for individuals statistics section reports on:

  • the number of wage and salary earners during an income tax year
  • the number of wage and salary earners by income band
  • the total value of wages and salaries paid by income band.

We update these statistics yearly. You can download data from the 2001 to 2023 income tax years on the wage and salary earners statistics dataset page. This update revises information for the 2022 tax year.

The latest update uses data extracted from Inland Revenue systems on 1 August 2023.
