Today, the average UK retail salary sits at £29,260 based on over 40 million live job ads. But that doesn’t mean you should be paying the average! Retail salaries can vary a lot by role, region and experience level. So, high-level averages can sometimes be misleading when you're trying to set fair, competitive salaries.

Ryman Case Study: Tracking pay on the high-street
Of all the years I’ve been working in HR and recruitment, I’ve never seen anything that enables you to get the information you need for salary benchmarking that quickly.
No. HR Datahub is built on live external market data, not customer submissions. You get the same live UK pay evidence base from day one, without needing to contribute your own data first.
No infosec review to work through, no waiting to build up a shared dataset, and no reliance on how much other companies choose to share. Your pay decisions stay confidential to your business.
HR Datahub is very different from conventional salary surveys, which often take a long time to create and can be months out of date by the time they are published. Salary surveys usually focus on large enterprises to inform an annual strategy view and can eat up valuable time with painstaking cross-checking of company pay rates against survey like-for-likes.
In contrast, HR Datahub gives you a forward-looking view of what the market is offering right now, refreshed continuously and specific to the exact role and location you're deciding on.
We’ve covered the pros and cons of salary surveys in detail if you would like to explore this topic in more depth.

Every data point is traceable back to the source posting: the company, the date, the salary stated. That keeps our pay insights right up to date and in line with today’s advertised salaries.
