Not seasonally adjusted (original) means regular seasonal patterns remain in the figures. It does not mean the first or unrevised edition. Seasonally adjusted figures allow for regular seasonal patterns; the label does not mean more up-to-date.
Seasonally adjusted is the starting point. This source does not publish seasonally adjusted NT or ACT series; choose Trend or Original to include them. The selected basis is shown with the figures. Missing series are not estimated.

Source edition: August 2025 · The selected survey reference period is shown above. Main-job earnings before deductions. RSE 25–50% means use with caution; above 50% is too unreliable for general use and is unavailable as a pay comparison. Source-coded zero medians remain unavailable. Source-coded zero RSEs are shown as not available, rather than implying zero uncertainty. These differences are not a like-for-like pay gap.
