Gender pay gap report

Difference in hourly rate

About mean and median

The mean hourly rate is the average hourly wage across the entire organization, so the

mean gender pay gap is a measure of the difference between women’s mean hourly wage

and men’s mean hourly wage.

The median hourly rate is calculated by ranking all employees from the highest paid to the

lowest paid, and taking the hourly wage of the person in the middle; so the median gender

pay gap is the difference between women’s median hourly wage (the middle paid woman)

and men’s median hourly wage (the middle paid man).

Women’s mean hourly rate is 12.3% lower than men’s

In other words when comparing mean hourly rates, women earn 88p for every £1 that men

earn.

Women’s median hourly rate is 0.7% lower than men’s

In other words when comparing median hourly rates, women earn 99p for every £1 that

men earn.
