This is the app's forecast for one example: someone aged 25 with 3 years of work experience, anywhere in the UK. ONS does not publish pay by age and education together, so education does not move this curve. A different age, experience or region changes the numbers.
| Age | Median, with likely range |
|---|---|
| 30 | £43,000 £32,000 to £56,000 |
| 40 | £55,000 £41,000 to £71,000 |
| 50 | £60,000 £44,000 to £78,000 |
On this path pay is highest around age 50, with a median of £60,000.
The range is the 25th to 75th percentile, rounded to the nearest thousand, in today's money. It follows the age curve for full-time pay by age (ONS ASHE). How it is worked out is on the home page.
